Our plastic solutions to protect your products from impacts

In the logistics sector, product protection is a major challenge to prevent damage during repeated handling and transport. Knauf Industries can support you by designing and supplying robust and customized transport solutions.

Concrete example: The Boehringer Ingelheim laboratory replaced its traditional containers with lighter and more durable expanded polypropylene solutions. These new containers not only effectively protect equipment but also improve ergonomics and standardize logistics processes.

In the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, components are often sensitive to shocks and vibrations. Our PPE solutions allow for the direct integration of protective features into technical components, reducing the need for additional packaging.

In the furniture sector, product protection is essential to preserve both the aesthetic and structural quality of the products. Our plastic solutions enable the design of custom inserts that protect components from scratches, impacts, and deformation, while optimizing packaging space.

Concrete example: Faced with environmental challenges, Burgbad wanted to improve the recyclability of the packaging used to protect its furniture during transport. To achieve this, we assisted the company in transitioning from black polypropylene corner protectors (difficult to detect during waste sorting) to white expanded polypropylene corner protectors that do not contain carbon black. This allows for their detection by optical sorting systems, thus facilitating recycling.

In distribution, products undergo numerous handling processes, from storage to final delivery. It is therefore essential that products are sufficiently robust and properly packaged to withstand repeated impacts and sometimes harsh transport conditions. Knauf Industries can help you strengthen your structures in this regard.
