Innovation is plastic
We are
plasticsland.NRW
With over 134,000 employees and annual sales of around €34 billion, North Rhine-Westphalia is the leading plastics region in Germany and Europe. The industry unites numerous small and medium-sized enterprises, large international corporations, and research-intensive institutions along the entire value chain. Kunststoffland NRW actively builds on this excellent foundation and, as a network, advocates for the interests and needs of the industry.
We connect the entire plastics value chain with our members, thereby achieving comprehensive exchange. We maintain an overview of stakeholders and their activities in the state and link them effectively. As a voice to policymakers, we give our members a platform and represent their interests in a targeted manner. Within the framework of the state's leading market policy, the Kunststoffland NRW association was also appointed as the operator of the state-wide competence network of the same name.
