Business Overview

--The Company is a family-owned entity specializing in the development and manufacturing of engineered plastic systems and components for multiple industrial sectors, including the automotive industry.

-The Company is organized into three divisions:

  • Industry Division: Develops and supplies thermoplastics and composite materials in the form of semi-finished products or machined parts for a wide range of markets
  • Automotive Division: Develops and manufactures plastic solutions for the automotive industry across four product areas: battery applications, aerodynamics, propulsion, and lightweight structures
  • Medical Division: Develops products, services, and platform solutions for the healthcare industry including pharmaceutical packaging, drug delivery systems, consumables, and other components


-In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, sales in the Company’s Automotive division were EUR 1,241 million, a decrease of 1.6% from the previous year’s EUR 1,261 million. The division had 5,733 employees at the end of 2024 and capital expenditures of approximately EUR 34 million during the fiscal year. The decrease in the Automotive division’s capital expenditure was due to the Company’s strategic focus on cautious cash management.

-In 2024, the Company’s Automotive division announced that it would consolidate its production sites in Germany, closing its plant in Wackersdorf as well as the Röchling Precision Components subsidiary in Mainburg. In addition, in April 2025, the Automotive division announced that it would close its production facility in Chengdu, China by the end of 2025, shifting its production to other locations in the country.
