What GTX Hanex Plastic does

GTX Hanex Plastic Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish manufacturer of PET-based packaging, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Dąbrowa Górnicza. The company operates as part of the LERG Group, a diversified Polish chemical-industry conglomerate, and is the self-described market leader in Poland for thermoforming films, PET preforms, and PET bottles. Production is consolidated at the Dąbrowa Górnicza site on four film lines, delivering roughly 1,200 tonnes of PET film and nearly 130 million packaging units per month. The customer base spans four end-verticals — food and beverage, cosmetics, household chemicals, and medical — served via a direct B2B sales motion with dedicated contacts for each product line (Bottles, Films, Preforms).

The company's core technology centers on conventional PET processing combined with selected proprietary formulations. Bottles are produced via NISSEI DPH 70/12-M single-stage and SIPA two-stage blow molding; preforms are injection-molded on HUSKY presses; films are extruded in three-layer configurations including APET, GPET, PET/PE, and R-PET variants. Differentiated offerings include an R-PET film with 70% post-consumer/post-industrial recycled content (the first such line in Poland, with EU food-contact approval under Directive 10/2011/EU and Regulation 1935/2004), a PET/PE Active+ barrier film using oxygen-scavenging additives claimed to outperform EVOH, and specialty medical and anti-static films. An in-house laboratory provides mechanical, thermal, acetaldehyde, and leak testing — both for internal QC and as a paid service to external companies. Quality and food-safety are anchored by BRCGS Packaging Materials v7, BRC IoP v5 Level A (8th consecutive year), HACCP, GMP/GHP, and EN ISO 22000:2005 certifications.

Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales of bottles, films, and preforms (no subscription or licensing model), plus a smaller professional-services stream from laboratory testing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through a sales department rather than self-service channels. Go-to-market is sales-led with event-driven international amplification (SPE European Thermoforming Conference, K Fair Düsseldorf, PMMI membership for U.S. expansion). Distribution is direct-to-manufacturer, with an export department serving customers across Central Europe and, increasingly, the U.S. R&D is supported by collaborations with Poznań University of Technology, Silesian University of Technology, and COBRO, and operations have been optimized under the HMW (Hanex Management Way) continuous-improvement program since 2015.
