RENOLIT expands plant in Worms/Germany

PVC film production growth of 15,000 tons a year


Worms/Germany, 28 June 2006 – RENOLIT AG is enlarging its 
headquarter in Worms. In response to the continuing high demand for 
PVC films produced at the site, the company is building a 3,200 m2 
manufacturing plant containing two additional calender lines including 
the entire technical equipment and infrastructure. On 26 June 2006, the 
ground-breaking ceremony took place in the presence of the mayor of 
Worms, Michael Kissel.

RENOLIT’s headquarter currently employs 860 workers; the new 
investment of €8 million will create 30 new jobs. After the enlargement, 
annual production capacity at the Worms plant will grow by 15,000 tons 
to a total of 40,000 tons. The products manufactured here are to be 
predominantly used for exterior construction elements and the surface 
finishing of furniture, or processed into self-adhesive products.

Commitment to German and European sites

Expansion of its German sites is part of RENOLIT’s business strategy: 
“We are expanding our industrial production in Germany and at the same 
time extending our worldwide network,” says CEO Dr. Heinz Gärtner. 
Acquisitions of recent months attest to this strategy: The takeover of the 
Industrial Foils division of the Belgian SOLVAY Group was completed at 
the end of March this year; and on 31 May 2006, RENOLIT acquired the 
Chinese company Guangzhou TinsPlastics Co., Ltd. With these strategic 
steps the company intends to secure a solid position within the 
increasingly competitive Asian-Pacific region. At the moment, RENOLIT 
is modernising and expanding film production at its Spanish site in Estella 
with a capital expenditure of €24 million.

RENOLIT AG is an international leader in the manufacture of high-quality 
plastic films and products. This independent family-run business, which
