At Idea 2013, RKW will be showcasing the latest member of its expanding global family of companies in the world of film extrusion, RKW Danafilms.

The latest acquisition brings two manufacturing sites in the US and a well-established and proven reputation in the technical films market. RKW will offer its extremely successful and well known range of Hyfol films to the US hygiene and medical markets from its facility in Franklin, Kentucky, starting Q1 2013.

"This is an exciting time for us in the US" says Franklin Smith, President RKW Danafilms. "The addition of this new business offers challenges and opportunities that support the mid to long term strategy of RKW, and the investments that RKW has made in the company since its acquisition of RKW Danafilms allow us to contribute in a positive and healthy fashion to the hygiene markets."

Patricia Featherstone, Director Marketing and Communications for RKW's Hygiene business, adds: 'The Idea 2013 show, held in Miami, is the ideal platform from which to propel RKW Danafilms onto the hygiene and medical markets in North America. We are bringing new technology and innovation to the market that prospective customers are eager to snap up. As a team, we are confident that the Hyfol films that were developed in Germany will prove an out-and-out benefit to the market here in the States'.
