What KLG does

KLG Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish plastics processor founded in 2004 in Bydgoszcz through a joint venture between German plastics firm Keune & Lauber GmbH (Bad Berleburg) and Polish toolmaker GGS Technologies Sp. z o.o. The company operates a fully vertically integrated single-technological-chain production model at a single Bydgoszcz facility (ul. Smoleńska 37), encompassing in-house toolroom design and manufacturing (CAD-driven, plate processing up to 496 x 696 mm, with HEITEC hot runners and HEB hydraulics), injection molding (machines from 25 to 500 T clamping force plus 200 T two-component machines), modern chrome plating line (launched 2014, described as the most modern in Poland and one of the most modern in Europe, with 126 tubs and 6-minute cycle enabling ABS and PC/ABS plating with intermittent 'day and night' processing), automated painting (Venjakob booth), laser marking (Foba), tampon printing, and ESD-protected manual and automated assembly. The company holds IATF 16949:2016 certification (implemented August 2018) for automotive quality management.

KLG operates a custom B22B contract manufacturing model targeting automotive OEMs and tier suppliers as its primary segment, with secondary exposure to electrical/electronics (Schneider Electric), home appliances, and medical applications. Named customers include Continental Automotive, Stabilus, Harman-Becker, IIC B.V., Schneider Electric, and MANTZ airmotions, with 14 regular recurring clients reported. Revenue is generated through custom mold design, plastic component manufacturing, surface treatment, and assembly delivered as an integrated one-stop-shop, with quote-based pricing via direct inquiry and department-specific contact channels (Sales, Molding, Planting, IT). The company processes approximately 265 tons of plastic annually with a workforce of 100 employees and has received EU co-financing for both machinery modernization (2007-2013: 11 modern injection molding machines) and an ecological investment project (2024: 1,127,080 PLN for energy efficiency, electric injection molding machines, photovoltaic, heat pumps, and thermomodernization).
