Lightweight, Strong, and Efficient – Blow Molding for Kayaks and Other Sports Equipment.

Kajaks, the perfect example

Made to Perform.

Kayaks represent a unique combination of technical challenge and design ambition. They must be lightweight for easy handling, durable to withstand outdoor conditions, and attractive enough for demanding end users. Extrusion blow molding delivers on all of these — with speed, precision, and repeatability.

With Kautex systems, kayaks up to 4 meters in length can be produced in a single step — no welding, no post-processing. Our technology ensures uniform wall thickness distribution, excellent part strength, high surface quality, and full design freedom. Advanced features like automatic part handling, article grippers, and guided demolding systems simplify the process even for large-scale models.
