What Senoplast does

Senoplast Klepsch & Co. GmbH is an Austrian family-owned manufacturer of coextruded multilayer plastic sheets and films, headquartered in Piesendorf in the Salzburg region and operating as the core entity of the Klepsch Group. Founded in 1956 by Wilhelm Klepsch, the company pioneered coextrusion technology in 1972 and holds the first patent (1977) for coextruded senosan® ABS/PMMA sheets. Its product portfolio spans ABS, ABS/ASA, ABS/TPE, ABS/PMMA, PC/ABS, PC, and HIPS/PS multilayer sheets under brands including senosan®, senotop®, easyglide®, and Antibac®, serving automotive, commercial vehicles, passenger transport (rail/bus), furniture, bath & wellness, refrigeration/appliances, travel/luggage, and caravan/motorhome manufacturers.

The company operates three production sites (Austria, Mexico since 2000, China since 2020) and a regional sales office in the United States, supported by a network of regional distributors covering Australia, the Nordics, Poland/Baltics, the Balkans, Turkey, and Central America. Products are sold via an enterprise field-sales motion with technical support, application consulting, free sampling, and customized surface solutions. The Senocircle® closed-loop recycling program and over 90% hydroelectric power sourcing underpin a sustainability positioning reinforced by ISCC PLUS, ISO 14001, and EMAS certifications.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct sale of sheets and films (hardware sales) and customized product/packaging solutions, with over 90% of output exported to more than 60 countries. Named customers include Ligier Europe (electric vehicles) and Kubota (agricultural equipment). With approximately 810 employees globally and Dun & Bradstreet Risk Indicator 1 sustained since 2012, Senoplast is a financially stable, mid-sized specialty plastics manufacturer with no external equity funding and continuous capacity expansion, evidenced by Mexico Production Line 6 slated for 2025 and recent launches including senosan® EVO furniture films (December 2024).
