Expansion of injection molding capacity
With the purchase of a new 1,300 t machine KM 1300 / 17200MX from Krauss Maffei, we continue to focus on healthy growth. For us this means, on the one hand, capacity, but also the further development of technologies.

2013

Automation of material handling
By using the latest handling systems, the extrusion hall is now linked to the car wash. In this way, the agglomerates manufactured there can be fed directly into silos at the extrusion hall and made available to the extrusion lines. Automation goes hand in hand with a further expansion of injection molding capacities. Up to 2.5 million plastic pallets can now be injected at the site every year.

February 2013
Completion of the shape injection molding extension
Equipped for new challenges. In February 2013, the expansion measures in the area of ​​shape injection molding were completed. Always looking for new technologies, further investments are planned in the future, especially in the 2-component injection molding area.
