The Bischof+Klein GROUP is a leading European full-service supplier of flexible plastic and laminate packaging and technical films, and is represented around the world by a strong network of sales offices. Bischof+Klein employs a total of around 2,600 staff at five production plants in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Poland. Sustainability as a balance between economy, ecology and social responsibility has a long tradition at Bischof+Klein. The family-owned company's orientation to economic standards is supplemented by a sense of responsibility towards its employees as well as conscientious interaction with the environment, the climate and resources. When developing sustainable packaging solutions, B+K concentrates on four aspects: the use of regranulates, the creation of recyclable laminates, reduced material inputs and the use of renewable raw materials. Today, we are able to offer a sustainable variant of each of our products. The Bischof-Klein GROUP manufactures its products using state-of-the art systems for mono/co-extrusion, gravure/flexographic printing, solvent-based/solvent-free lamination and coating as well as for extrusion lamination and coating. Highly-evolved conversion technology with product-specific facilities for sealed, welded, and adhesive designs enables optimum film and packaging solutions. Bischof+Klein is one of the very few companies in Europe to produce clean room packaging corresponding to clean room class 5 at rest in the form of its CleanFlex® product line. Motivated employees are our potential for success. Their motivation is based on recognition and identification – values which we promote and demand. This forms part of our corporate philosophy. A willingness to engage in life-long learning and the desire to develop one's personality are the prerequisites of competence. Bischof+Klein provides an extensive advanced training programme which is structured according to the needs of the employees.
