Our
Memberships
At Kautex, we’re more than a machinery manufacturer — we’re part of a global network of industry leaders, research institutions, and sustainability initiatives.
Committed
As active members of national and international associations, we contribute our expertise, share ideas, and help shape the standards that drive blow molding forward.
Our goal: to take responsibility, provide momentum — and actively shape the future of plastics processing through collaboration.
Here’s where and how we are involved.
Initiative Blue Competence
We are Alliance Member of the Sustainability Initiative Blue Competence. Blue Competence is an initiative of the VDMA, for promoting and communication of sustainable solutions forthe Mechanical Engineering Industry. By using the trademark “Blue Competence”, we commit ourselves to the twelve Sustainability Guidelines of the Mechanical Engineering Industry
VDMA
We are a member of the VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, German Engineering Federation) which represents over 3,100 mostly medium-sized companies in the capital goods industry, making it the largest industry association in Europe.
R-Cycle
R-Cycle – We follow our corporate vision and develop “intelligent” production solutions for value-added articles. This includes in particular sustainability-oriented solutions. R-Cycle fulfills one of the most important prerequisites for the recycling of plastics as marking makes the packaging identifiable. The complete value chain can be traced right back to the raw materials used via a cloud-based database.
DIN
Kautex Maschinenbau is member of the technical committee blow molding machines within the DIN standardization committee for mechanical engineering and for example active in the development of DIN EN 422:2009-10 for machine safety
SPI
SPI is the plastics industry trade association of USA. We are a SPI member and part of the Machinery Safety Standards Subcommittee.
