Moplast Plastics

What Moplast Plastics does

Moplast Kunststoff AG (DBA Moplast) is a Swiss B2B packaging materials manufacturer and distributor founded in 1986, with a predecessor operating since 1980. Headquartered in Liestal, Canton Basel-Landschaft, the company functions as a Komplettanbieter (full-range provider) of packaging solutions spanning approximately 80 product categories, including shipping and document envelopes, packaging bags (flat, drawstring, zipper, adhesive-closure), polyethylene and polypropylene films, corrugated cardboard packaging, cushioning materials (proprietary Star Fill polystyrene chips and Green Fill compostable chips), self-adhesive tapes, stretch films, edge protection, packaging cord, strapping equipment, film welding devices, ESD shielding bags for electronics, and office and waste disposal supplies. The technology foundation is conventional plastics processing (LD-PE, PP, polystyrene) with branded, registered product lines including Arofol air cushion mailers, Arowell cardboard-interior shipping envelopes, and SUPRAFOL construction film.

The company operates three warehouses — including a primary distribution facility in Möhlin operated in partnership with logistics provider Streck Transport AG — holding 3,000-4,000 pallets of films and cardboard packaging for rapid fulfillment across Switzerland. Its go-to-market is sales-led but executed primarily through the moplast.ch e-commerce storefront with tiered, volume-based pricing in Swiss Francs, supplemented by phone and contact-form consultation for custom sizing, materials, and branded printing. Revenue is generated through one-time transactional sales of physical packaging goods to two parallel segments — large enterprises requiring industrial-scale supply and Swiss KMU (SMEs) needing flexible, smaller-volume ordering — with mix-and-match assortment discounts that incentivize consolidated purchasing across categories.

Broad incumbents

• Antalis: European B2B distributor of paper, packaging, and visual communication substrates — overlaps with Moplast on corrugated, paper, and packaging consumables across an enterprise customer base in DACH and beyond.
• Mondi: Global paper and packaging group with strong presence in paper-based packaging, films, and corrugated — overlaps with Moplast in flexible films, paper-based cushioning, and shipping-envelope categories at scale Moplast cannot match.
• Sealed Air: Global packaging giant (Bubble Wrap, Cryovac, Instapak) competing directly against Moplast's Arofol air cushion mailers and broader protective packaging SKUs as part of a much wider portfolio.
• DS Smith: Major international corrugated and sustainable packaging manufacturer — competes with Moplast in the corrugated packaging category (Karton, Wellkartonverpackungen) for industrial and e-commerce customers.

Direct peers

• Storopack: German manufacturer specializing in protective packaging and cushioning materials — direct competitor to Moplast's Star Fill and Green Fill loose-fill chips as well as PE foam film lines.
• Ratioform (Schweiz/Rajapack Group): Swiss subsidiary of Rajapack Group and the most direct competitor to Moplast — both sell B2B packaging materials (mailers, bags, films, corrugated) to enterprises and KMU in Switzerland via online catalogs with tiered pricing.
• Sprick GmbH & Co. KG: German B2B packaging distributor with strong e-commerce catalog and assortment-based tiered pricing — same GTM motion, overlapping product categories (mailers, films, stretch, strapping), and serves similar KMU/enterprise mix as Moplast.
• Rajapack: Europe's largest B2B packaging distributor (parent of Ratioform); same product categories (mailers, bags, films, cushioning), same volume-tier pricing, same Swiss and broader European customer base — the primary competitive threat.

Regional players

• Haberkorn: Austria-headquartered technical B2B distributor with strong DACH footprint including Switzerland — competes with Moplast on industrial films, strapping equipment, tapes, and packaging consumables for industrial customers across the same Alpine region.

Emerging players

• noissue: Digital-native sustainable packaging supplier serving SMEs and DTC e-commerce brands with custom-printed mailers and bags — overlaps with Moplast on carrier bags, padded mailers, and custom-printed SKUs but targets the lower end digitally.
