RKW AG Rheinische Kunststoffwerke
Solutions in film 'n' fiber
The RKW Group is one of the leading European manufacturers of high-quality plastic films and nonwovens made from polyethylene and polypro-pylene. The company employs over 2,500 people at 19 locations world-wide and achieved a turnover of around 637 million euros in the 2006 business year. With almost 50 years’ experience in this field, the name ‘RKW’ is synonymous with reliability and competence.
Diverse solutions from one source
RKW has achieved its internationally leading position in the films and nonwovens sector not least as a result of continually bringing innovative solutions to its markets. Customer focussed product development draws on the natural synergies between the 5 Strategic Business (Hy-giene&Medical, Consumer Packaging, Industrial Packaging, Industrial Films, Agricultural Films, Nets and Construction Films) Units within the RKW group and this, in combination with state of the art technology, is reflected in the company slogan: “Solutions in film 'n' fiber”. The ability to combine both film and nonwoven technology has earned RKW its unique position in the market.
As a consequence, RKW offers a wide range of different film and non-woven products to the Hygiene and Medical business sector: breathable and non-breathable films, semi-elastic and highly elastic films, textile backsheets and perforated films, thermobonded staple fibres, spun-bonded and carded nonwovens as well as a whole range of laminates and composites. In and off line printing, up to 8 colours, provides the ‘fin-ishing touch’.
Applications
RKW’s established customers include household names from all over the world and our films and nonwovens are used in the manufacture of brand-name products for the hygiene and medical sectors. Think of the well known brands in baby diapers, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene – and RKW is proud to be there!
In the medical and surgical area of our business, customers use our films and laminates in the construction of breathable disposable surgeons‘ gowns, as well as a wide range of complex patient drapes for the operat-ing theatre. To complete the range, the wound management sector is served by innovative films, nonwovens and laminates in a highly special-ised and demanding environment.
On the horizon
The latest acquisition of RKW is Hydro Spun Nonwoven GmbH in Halber-stadt, Germany. The new member of the RKW Group currently employs 30 people and in future it will trade under the name RKW HydroSpun GmbH. “By acquiring HydroSpun Nonwoven GmbH, we have expanded our product range to include spunlaced continuous fiber nonwovens and we will therefore be able to develop new areas of application and tap into new markets,” says Roland Roth, Vice President of the executive man-agement board of RKW AG, in explaining this strategic step.
RKW will continue to grow and expand its global presence. Tapping into new markets from within the framework of its core areas of expertise, the company expects to enjoy new organic growth that will be supported as always by significant investments in the future. Innovation and customer focus point the way forward.
