Mauser extends its Erkelenz plant in Germany

Mauser-Werke GmbH, the German subsidiary of Mauser Packaging Solutions, is investing more than 10 million euros in the extension of its Erkelenz facility.

Operations at this Mauser plant include the manufacturing of composite Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) and components for the company’s global IBC production activities. The company also has industrial packaging reconditioning and plastic recycling activities in Erkelenz.

The ground breaking ceremony on Tuesday 28 January 2020 was attended by official representatives of Erkelenz city council, the construction company and Mauser.

One focus of the recent investment is to scale up Mauser’s seminal activities in the food packaging sector and in the lifecycle management of packaging and packaging materials. For example, the Erkelenz plant manufactures Recolene, a sustainable HDPE post-consumer resin material for high quality HDPE applications. It is then processed at the Erkelenz facility and numerous other European Mauser plants into new packaging containing up to 90 % post-consumer recycled (PCR) material.
