What makes us different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hans Keim Kunststoffe GmbH was founded in 1946 by the pioneer in plastics processing \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tradition, family spirit and progress \u2013 this is what Keim Kunststoffe stands for.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

History<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\n
1946<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Founding of Hascher & Keim Chemie by Hans Keim and Emil Hascher. Production and distribution of hygiene, detergent and cleaning agents such as Hascherpur.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
1950<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Founding of Hans Keim Kunststoffe GmbH in Warmbronn. The first experiments from the 1950s form the basis for today\u2019s processing methods and the foundation for the entire development of the family business.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
1979<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The second location: Zimmern ob Rottweil. The company grows and prospers. To increase production capacity, the plant in Zimmern ob Rottweil is opened. This expands the sales area into the entire southern German region and neighboring countries.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
1984<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The tragic loss of Hans Keim, founder of the family business.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
1987<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The location in Zimmern is doubled down by a new building.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
1995<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The location in Zimmern is again significantly expanded.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2000<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The production and storage areas in Warmbronn are further expanded.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2008<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Additional space is purchased at the Zimmern site. The existing site is now almost doubled in size.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2015<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Christoph Keim joins the operative business as managing partner.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2016<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The business shares are taken over by Christoph Keim and B\u00e4rbel Hahn-W\u00f6rnle. Thus, the company remains what it has always been: a family business. With this step, the company remains in the hands of Hans Keim\u2019s children and continues to be managed within the family circle.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2018<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The Zimmern plant becomes the sole location: Innovation and modernization take hold in Zimmern. From now on, a fully automated warehouse with integrated processing center operates. The site is geared towards industrial production. The plant in Warmbronn is closed. Now, at the latest, the future begins.<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2020<\/div>\n\n\n\n
New construction and extension of the warehouse<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
2021<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Future<\/em><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is how the story continues.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission: to merge tradition and industrial production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to visit me on LinkedIn and network with me. I personally manage LinkedIn and am always happy to make exciting contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNetwork on LinkedIn<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Certificates, accreditations and proof of quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are constantly working on acquiring further certificates, accreditations and proof of quality for our work as a plastics processor. In doing so, we are very broadly oriented. This applies, for example, to sustainability certificates, which are particularly important to us in the plastics industry. However, we are also constantly working on industry-specific accreditations to prove our high quality standards.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
