FEURER

What FEURER does

FEURER Group GmbH is a privately held, family-controlled German packaging company founded in 1898 and headquartered in Brackenheim, operating through wholly-owned subsidiaries FEURER Porsiplast GmbH (CoPacking), FEURER Febra GmbH (automotive load carriers), and FEURER SK s.r.o. (Slovakia). Across four German production sites and one Slovak facility, the company runs three business segments: Automotive (the FLEXILITY® modular EPP/EPS load carrier platform with 15+ variants covering KLT, GLT, and XXL formats up to 2,500 × 1,600 mm, produced on Europe's largest fully automated EPP foaming machine); CoPacking (customized contract packaging for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare including GMP §13 AMG-compliant pharmaceutical repackaging, Green Blister, Green Calendar, Green Cello, and POS displays); and Special Services (EPP/EPS molded parts including 1M+ sun visor cores per month, RECOU plant-based packaging from grain husks, KÄNGABOX® insulated containers, deep-drawn thermoformed trays, and certified hazardous goods packaging).

The underlying technology stack combines EPP/EPS foam molding, injection molding, thermoforming, and proprietary plant-fiber processing, with the FEURONIC® Industry 4.0 platform adding RFID, sensors, and TecSa technical-cleanliness surface treatments to support automotive production environments. FEURER monetizes primarily through custom, quote-based enterprise sales with multi-year contracts, segmented by business unit (load carriers, CoPacking, molded parts), and pursued via dedicated regional sales representatives (e.g., Arnaud Meyer for France, Matthias Pac for CoPacking, Sven Schäufe for molded parts), direct German DACH activity, a Slovak showroom, and an exclusive USA distribution partnership with Bradford Company in Holland, Michigan. Key certifications (IATF 16949, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485, TISAX, EMAS, Ecovadis Silver, §13 AMG) and active trademark portfolio (FLEXILITY®, KÄNGABOX®, FEURONIC®, TEXBAGS®, Green Blister, Green Calendar, TecSa Surface) anchor its enterprise sales motion.
