LogistikPlan industry sector: Plastics
Plastics with tradition and a future
The plastics industry is a modern industrial sector. Many industrial products and consumer goods made of plastic are often assumed to come from China, but in fact originate from long-established production sites in western and eastern Germany.
Did you know, for example, that the European market leader for cosmetic tubes (which are mostly made of plastic laminate) is headquartered in Saxony? That the predecessors of today’s company Essel Deutschland made tube history in Dresden 100 years ago? And that LogistikPlan advises the company on the strategic expansion of production and the automation of intralogistics?
More than 90% of plastics manufacturers are small and medium-sized enterprises. The industry is characterized by a high level of innovation and a very broad product range: plastics are used to manufacture packaging, construction products, consumer goods, and many other everyday items.
