About INFA Lentjes
INFA Lentjes is a family-owned, owner-managed company founded in 1968 by Theodor Lentjes and headquartered in Herdecke in the Ruhr region. The company develops and produces waste containers, in particular medical waste containers for the safe and hygienic transport of demanding waste, as well as transport and game tubs and universal container systems for various industries. Production uses a patented vacuum deep-drawing, i.e. thermoforming process; the base material made from plastic granulate is produced in the company's own extrusion line. Compared with plastic injection moulding, lower wall thicknesses enable minimal weight with maximum resistance, with recycled content of up to 100 %. In addition to container production, INFA Lentjes offers a full waste-management service including collection, transport, interim storage, removal and container exchange. The company operates with a certified quality management system.
