Packaging expertise from Lower Austria
VSL Mehrwegverpackungssysteme GmbH has been developing and producing custom transport and shipping packaging in Lower Austria since 1994. The portfolio includes constructive foam packaging, foam molded parts and inserts for case interiors, custom-made transport cases and flight cases, wood packaging and pallets including IPPC treatment, as well as reusable and circulation packaging made of PP hollow chamber boards and die-cut ESD corrugated cardboard. Production is carried out with waterjet cutting systems for 2D and 3D cuts, die-cutting technology for micro-series and woodworking machines with a central dust extraction system. An in-house development department designs packaging solutions using CAD, from idea to series production from a single source. With 100 employees, VSL serves the electronics industry, automotive, medical technology, metrology and tool industry. Sustainability is part of the concept: 100 % recycled PE foam, PP hollow chamber boards with up to 80 % recycled content, an in-house recycling plant for foam waste and a photovoltaic system that covers 30 % of the electricity requirement. Production takes place at the central site in Kottingbrunn with Plant 1 and Plant 2.
