NITTEL Halle

What NITTEL Halle does

NITTEL Halle GmbH is a German manufacturer of plastic inner covers (liners) for industrial transport and storage containers, founded in 1957 and headquartered in Halle an der Saale with a secondary operations site in Breda, Netherlands. The company produces more than 4,000 different inner cover variants and approximately 12 million liners per year across two plants on a roughly 1.8-hectare site, employing around 100 staff. Its product portfolio includes liners for FIBCs, beer tank inliners, drum lid discs, form inliners, form-lids, round bottom bags, and protective covers, designed to prevent contamination and cross-contamination during the shipping and storage of sensitive materials.

Approximately 66% of production serves the food and pharmaceutical industries, with the remainder primarily directed to the chemical sector, including both hazardous and non-hazardous materials. NITTEL sells through three channels: a request-for-quote workflow on its corporate website, direct consultation with an in-house team of packaging consultants, and the Liner-Profi online shop (liner-profi.com) for self-service ordering. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a per-order basis.

NITTEL Halle GmbH is a wholly-owned division of Ringmetall SE, a German-listed industrial packaging conglomerate. Through its parent, NITTEL accesses distribution via sister companies including Rhein-Plast GmbH, Tesseraux Spezialverpackungen GmbH, Liner Factory GmbH, Protective Lining Inc. (US), Peak Packaging Poland (Poland), and Hutek Oy (Finland), giving the business a multinational footprint despite its relatively compact headcount.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Amcor plc: Global flexible and rigid packaging giant with deep presence in food, pharma and industrial end markets. Broadly comparable to NITTEL in customer verticals though vastly larger and more diversified.
• Greif Inc. Global industrial packaging producer of steel/plastic drums, IBCs, FIBCs and container liners. Overlaps with NITTEL across drum/FIBC liner categories but serves a much wider portfolio of rigid and flexible packaging solutions.
• Sealed Air Corporation: Large flexible and protective packaging manufacturer (Cryovac, Bubble Wrap). While focused on food/protective packaging rather than bulk container liners, competes for adjacent flexible-packaging spend.
• Mauser Packaging Solutions: Major manufacturer of industrial drums, IBCs and reconditioning services with a growing footprint in flexible industrial liners. Comparable end-customers in chemicals, food and pharma.

Direct peers

• Liner Factory GmbH: Ringmetall group member and operator of liner-profi.com, producing drum and container liners. Operates the same online shop that NITTEL highlights, making it the most overlapping peer within the group.
• CDF Corporation: US-based manufacturer of drum, pail and IBC liners, FIBC liners, and custom protective covers. The closest direct peer to NITTEL's core drum and bulk-container liner product family.
• Rhein-Plast GmbH: Sister company within the Ringmetall SE group, producing industrial drum liners and packaging solutions. Direct peer because both entities sell into the same drum liner category under common ownership.
• Tesseraux Spezialverpackungen GmbH: Ringmetall sister company specializing in special/custom industrial packaging including drum liners and protective solutions. Comparable product portfolio and customer base under shared group identity.
• Protective Lining Inc. Ringmetall group company serving the US market with drum, pail, IBC and FIBC liners. Nearly identical product range and positioning to NITTEL, with explicit transatlantic peer overlap.

Emerging players

• Scholle IPN: Bag-in-box and flexible liner specialist serving food, beverage and industrial liquids. Comparable technology and use cases (liner-based containment for bulk fluids like NITTEL's beer tank inliners).
