RKW has expanded its Unseburg plant in Germany which manufactures plastic films and nonwovens through a €1 million investment. The company plans to add silos for raw material storage and blown film line to manufacture high-quality plastic geo-barriers for construction, environmental and civil engineering applications. With this investment, the RKW Group is reinforcing its commitment to the Saxony-Anhalt region.

“RKW’s sites in Saxony-Anhalt provide about 90 people with work and as a training company also prospects for young people. Safe jobs, in-house training and ecological responsibility are important to us as a medium-sized, family-owned company,” said Harald Biederbick, chairman of the RKW Group.

RKW Unseburg plant has an in-house recycling plant capacity of 2,500 tonnes per year which allows the re-use of selected in-house production wastes in a closed circuit.

The RKW site in Halberstadt manufactures hydroentangled spunbond and thermobonded spunbond nonwovens, and produce endless-filament nonwovens in an in-line process, under the brand name RKW HyJet. The RKW Group has been active in Northern Saxony-Anhalt since 2007 following its acquisition of Halberstadt and Unseburg plants. (NA)
