World premiere at K2025 – Kautex launches the new KEB GREEN Series

23.09.2025 | Press Release

Bonn, September 2025 – Celebrating its 90th anniversary, Kautex Maschinenbau presents its broad machine portfolio at K 2025 – from proven platforms to future-ready solutions. The highlight: the KEB20 GREEN, a fully electric, compact, and energy-efficient blow molding machine, shown in live operation at the booth – a world premiere!

“At Kautex, we don’t start with the machine – we start with our customers’ product. From there, we build systems that are modular, smart, and proven in the field. That’s our promise: Engineered Around You,” says Guido Langenkamp, Product Portfolio Manager at Kautex Maschinenbau.

The KEB20 GREEN embodies this philosophy:

  • All-electric and resource-saving – significantly reduced energy consumption
  • Compact design – quick mold changes and modular setup
  • Digital upgrades – including DataCap and Ewon Box for process optimization and remote support
  • Integrated automation – from cooling to quality control

Beyond the KEB20 GREEN, Kautex is showcasing the breadth of its portfolio – from the compact KEB series and high-speed KBB machines to large-scale systems for industrial packaging and composite applications.

“With the KEB20 GREEN, we demonstrate how 90 years of experience connect with cutting-edge technology. Our customers can count on us to preserve what works – while boldly building what’s next,” emphasizes Eike Wedell, CEO of Kautex Maschinenbau.

Customer benefits at a glance:

  • Modular, flexible platforms for diverse applications
  • Integration of leading partner components (e.g., Feuerherm PWDS, W. Müller tooling)
  • All-electric technologies for efficiency and sustainability

With Jwell Machinery Group as its new owner, Kautex also gains access to an even wider technology and component base. “We are still Kautex – just stronger. With Jwell as our partner, we can develop faster, act globally, and stay close to our customers at the same time,” adds Haichao He, President of Jwell.
