Smart production solutions for added value creating plastic products in extrusion blow molding - Sustainable Innovations #madebyKautex!

Plastic and innovative solutions are our passion. At Kautex Maschinenbau we create smart production solutions for added value creating plastic products in extrusion blow molding. But we want even more. Our aim is to join our customers and partners in assuming a pioneering role in transition and the creation of added value.

There is no future without a past. Our family firm was founded in Germany in 1935.

As global market leader we employ around 500 colleagues worldwide. Our main production locations are in Germany and China. We employ more than 150 people in the fields of sales and service on all continents, so we are close to our customers wherever they are.

Kautex’s history of innovation started with the development of the world’s first extrusion molding machine for commercial use. Those early beginnings were down to an interest in different materials and a passion for technology. Eventually they grew into the most important global process for the manufacture of plastic containers such as bottles or jerry cans, and also canoes.

Today we have the advantage of know-how in many areas – we work in a way which is global, agile and adaptive. Over 100 colleagues are involved with innovations on a continuous basis. These include the further development of the digital twin of extrusion blow molding machines.

The greatest weight reductions, the processing of resource-efficient or recycling materials and the encouragement of re-use of plastics by means of recycling systems, all form part of our DNA. Kautex Maschinenbau thereby makes a major contribution to resource conservation on Planet Earth.
