   Wenger is a global group committed to groundbreaking ingenuity in the extrusion market, and recognized for world-class processing equipment, research & development expertise, and professional leadership. Active in over 90 countries, Wenger sales and service offices are located in the United States, South America, Europe, and Asia. We work closely with clients to solve problems and develop solutions; our attitude is that of a partner, working toward a common goal. A Wenger extrusion system certainly is not the cheapest alternative on the market. It is, however, the best. Unmatched in quality, and supported by people who have more knowledge and skill, in all aspects of extrusion and drying, than anyone—anywhere in the world. 

   Custom Systems That Give You The Edge At Wenger, we’re mindful of our leadership responsibilities and take great pride in the innovation we bring to the industry. Our state-of-the-art extrusion systems include twin screw extruders, forming extruders, dryers, enrober/dryers, and control systems. And every one of our systems is customized for your particular product, as we don’t believe in a standard approach. Each component is engineered specific for your application.

   While all our systems are customized, several things are common to all Wenger extruders: They optimize process stability and enhance versatility, they improve output-to-energy ratios and simplify maintenance, and they increase the life of critical screw and barrel components.

R&D EXPERTISE IN A TRUE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

One of our most valued resources for customers is the Wenger Technical Center, a complete agrifood laboratory with research and production-scale extrusion and drying equipment. Wenger Tech Center experts have the knowledge and skill to produce prototypes and to develop processes to manufacture the product for market. That includes help with process engineering, scaling up the process, and transferring technology to your facility. Equally important, we can often help you weave your way through the process faster than you could do it alone.
