Because Mastering Automation
means Mastering Quality.

With more than 90 years of expertise in machine building and blow moulding, we understand that automation is the key to efficiency, reliability, and future-ready production. Under the banner of Automation Know-How, we combine molding, post-processing, and quality control into intelligent, fully integrated systems.

From mold handling and deflashing to post-cooling, leak testing, camera inspection, and robotic assembly – our automation solutions are designed to optimize the entire process chain. The result: higher output, reduced waste, consistent quality, and flexible production setups that adapt quickly to new challenges.

We don’t just build machines – we engineer smart production environments that empower manufacturers to scale efficiently, maintain stable quality, and secure a competitive edge in a rapidly changing market.

 

our Automation Know-How

Efficiency through Integrated Intelligence.

At Kautex, automation is more than an add-on — it is at the core of reliable and efficient blow moulding production. Building on over 90 years of expertise in machine engineering and process innovation, our Automation Know-How represents the integration of molding, post-processing, and quality assurance into one seamless system.

We develop automation solutions that go far beyond single process steps. By connecting mold handling, deflashing, post-cooling, leak testing, camera inspection, robotic assembly, and packaging, we create end-to-end production environments that are smart, robust, and adaptable. This holistic approach ensures not only stable product quality but also maximum utilization of resources.

Our strength lies in tailoring each automation concept to the specific needs of our customers. Whether it’s scaling up for higher output, reducing scrap rates, optimizing manpower, or enabling flexible product changeovers, we design solutions that deliver measurable results and long-term value.

In addition, we continuously invest in digitalization, intelligent sensors, and data-driven process control. These technologies make our automation systems not only efficient but also future-proof, preparing manufacturers for Industry 4.0 requirements and the challenges of tomorrow’s markets.

With Automation Know-How by Kautex, our customers gain more than reliable machines — they gain a complete, integrated production strategy that boosts competitiveness and creates sustainable success.

Benefit from our Know-How

Boost Efficiency, Quality and Flexibility with Automation Expertise.

Higher output & efficiency

Automated processes for maximum throughput. Automated process chains accelerate production, reduce manual steps, and increase overall efficiency — helping you achieve higher output with reliable consistency.
