With this investment, the plastics processor is continuing its growth of recent years at the Lahnstein site. In 2019, Röchling expanded its existing production hall in Lahnstein by more than 3,000 square metres and also added new production facilities. With the set up of the latest lines, Röchling is completing the "Sustadur® Expansion" project that was presented to customers at the time in the newly created building space.
Mustafa Altintas, Managing Director/Global Technical Director Thermoplastics, explains: "Our PET business volume has grown steadily in recent years. With the expansion of our Sustadur® capacities, we are now able to respond even more flexibly and quickly to our customers' requests."
Franz Lübbers, member of the executive board of the Röchling Group in charge of the Industrial division, emphasises: "Since 2010, more than 40 million euros have been invested in the expansion in Lahnstein. As a leading manufacturer of high-performance plastics, we have continuously expanded our modern machinery and facilities. We recently opened a new logistics centre and expanded the existing areas in production and logistics halls in order to better address our customers' requirements."
