RKW held a ribbon-cutting session in May for its new greenfield site in Guangzhou, China.
It will produce backsheet film for absorbent hygiene products and complements its seven sister companies across Europe, North America and Egypt who also manufacture films for the disposable hygiene market.
“The China project is a major step in the global expansion of the RKW Group and for sure a significant milestone towards being a real global player as a leading raw material supplier to the personal care market,” said CEO Harald Biederbick.
The RKW Group is one of the leading international manufacturers of plastic films and nonwovens. On an annual basis, more than 3,000 employees process over 420,000 tons of plastic materials in 23 locations around the world.
A broad range of product and service solutions in films and nonwovens are supplied for the hygiene and medical field, for the converting industry, for industrial and consumer packaging and for the agricultural and construction sectors.
The independent, family-owned company generated sales of €940 million in 2014.
