About Kirschneck Folien
Kirschneck GmbH Folienfabrik in Selb (Upper Franconia) produces films made of polyethylene (PE) with thicknesses of 0.009 to 0.5 millimeters and widths of up to twelve meters. The product range includes transparent and colored films, on request with individual finishing such as VCI corrosion protection or multi-color printing, supplied as roll goods or converted into blanks, hoods and bags; in addition, sacks are produced from LDPE, LLDPE and HDPE polyethylene. Customers come from industry, the pharmaceutical and food sectors, construction, agriculture and the automotive industry. A core element of the company since 1989 is its own recycling and regranulation plant, in which its own and third-party film waste is processed into raw material such as recyclate for films with recycled content or for in-house manufactured cores. The company is a subsidiary of Kirschneck AG and certified to ISO 50001.
