Kyle Roseneck
Starting in January, Höcker Polytechnik will be represented by industry expert Kyle Roseneck, who will work with companies in the wood, plastics, and composites sectors to develop extraction solutions that increase productivity and efficiency while ensuring the highest standards of product quality.
As part of Höcker Polytechnik’s ongoing growth in North America, the company is expanding its presence with a new production, storage and service facility in Thomasville, North Carolina. Operating under the name Hocker Polytechnik Inc., the new location will optimize service and spare-parts support throughout North America, reduce transportation costs, and increase the availability of inventory to shorten delivery times.
First-class on-site consulting, support, and expertise remain essential to successful projects. Roseneck will be responsible for supporting current and future Höcker Polytechnik customers across the northern United States and Canada. He is no stranger to the organization, having supported woodworking companies and furniture manufacturers in the region for more than 20 years. Prior to joining Höcker Polytechnik, Roseneck worked with its distributor partner, Taurus Craco Machinery Inc., supporting wood, plastics, and composite manufacturers across Canada and the United States. Taurus Craco has successfully combined advanced woodworking technology with energy-efficient extraction systems from Höcker Polytechnik to deliver innovative workshop solutions.
Roseneck brings extensive application knowledge and has played a key role in developing and implementing solutions for machine extraction and efficient chip and dust handling. As an application consultant and project manager, he consistently relied on Höcker Polytechnik technology throughout his career.
His transition from Taurus Craco to Höcker Polytechnik is a strategic step for both parties. In his new role, Roseneck will focus even more closely on large-scale projects and deliver them with increased efficiency, while continuing close collaboration with Taurus Craco and supporting shared partner relationships.
Roseneck will take over responsibilities from Uwe Rother, Höcker Polytechnik’s long-standing and highly respected project manager, who will retire in the fall of 2026. Over the past 15 years, Rother has helped strengthen the partnership with Taurus Craco, completed numerous projects alongside Roseneck, and will support him throughout this transition.
“Welcome to the team, Kyle.”
