With more than 200 years of corporate history, the Röchling Group has undergone many transformations – from coal trading and steel production to high-performance plastics. Change is part of our DNA, as is long-term thinking and responsible action.
Today, the global shift towards greater sustainability offers a new opportunity to evolve. As a reliable partner to our customers, employees, and suppliers, we take responsibility for the environmental and social impact of our actions – collaborating to improve sustainability in plastics processing.
