What makes us different
Hans Keim Kunststoffe GmbH was founded in 1946 by the pioneer in plastics processing – Hans Keim. It has now been a medium-sized family and traditional business for 75 years and has been continuously expanding with the Keim family through technological innovations, new core competencies, production and processing as well as storage capacities.
In the meantime, Christoph Keim has taken the helm and continues to drive the expansion and progress of the traditional family business as managing partner. Today, Hans Keim Kunststoffe GmbH is a national and international partner and supplier for globally active companies in a wide range of industries.
Tradition, family spirit and progress – this is what Keim Kunststoffe stands for.
History

Every company has to face challenges. Continues to evolve. Pioneering spirit and consistency live in this company since its foundation in the post-war period. We cannot rest on the past: We must and will continue to stand out through innovation and thus continue to be a pioneer in the area of plastics processing.

Christoph Keim
Our family business has been with me since my earliest youth. And with it the traditional consistency, pioneering spirit, entrepreneurship and the sense of responsibility that goes with it.
However, I always wanted to gain my own personal entrepreneurial experience. I started doing this while I was still at university – back then importing classic US vehicles. Later, I built up a group of companies in the mobile communications industry – consisting of a distributor, logistics, service provider and store chain.
In every family business, the question of the future and the next generation arises at some point. The joint family decision to hand over the exciting and responsible management of the company to me fills me with great pride every day. With the unique challenges and opportunities of today.
Since 2016, I have been doing everything I can to consistently align the company with the specific future industry needs of our customers. This also includes successively adapting our state-of-the-art production facilities to the future requirements that the digital age may bring.
Our mission: to merge tradition and industrial production.
Feel free to visit me on LinkedIn and network with me. I personally manage LinkedIn and am always happy to make exciting contacts.
