Corpac Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG

What Corpac Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG does

Corpac Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of temporary corrosion protection products serving industrial manufacturing, automotive, and export packaging customers across Europe. The company was formed through the merger of Corpac, Verpa, and Safepack, combining over 30 years each of corrosion protection consulting, plastic film extrusion, and desiccant manufacturing expertise. Corpac operates production facilities in Germany (Weidhausen, Gunzenhausen) and Poland (Wroclaw), with sales and warehouse locations in Oberstenfeld (HQ), Enger, Hamburg, and Mölnlycke (Sweden), and employs a direct field sales team plus internal sales staff across these markets.

The company's core product is its proprietary Corpalin® COEX coextruded VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) film, available in thicknesses from 25µm to 200µm and formats including rolls, bags, side gusseted bags, stretch films, and box hoods. Supporting the VCI film platform are branded product lines: Cor-Paper® (VCI paper), Cor-Mitter® (VCI emitters/dispensers), Cor-Foam® (VCI polyurethane foam), Cor-Oil® (VCI oils/sprays), Cor-Board® (VCI twin-wall polypropylene sheets), and Cor-Dry® (desiccant bags and container desiccants). The multilayer film technology is engineered so the VCI active ingredient acts only inward toward the packaged component, with the structure built as a monomaterial PE suitable for standard PE recycling streams. The company holds VW VCI film (55µm) and VCI paper certifications, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and produces CO2-neutrally since 2022.

Corpac primarily generates revenue through one-time product sales of VCI films, specialty products, and desiccants, with direct quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Two emerging non-product revenue streams are gaining traction: the Re-Lease closed-loop rental model, where customers lease films and Corpac reprocesses used material into new film (subscription/recurring), and a three-tier corrosion protection training and consulting service offering. The go-to-market is consultative and field-sales-led, with deep technical expertise supporting OEM-qualified supply chains (e.g., Daimler Truck Supplier Award 2024 in Sustainability). Sustainability positioning is a clear strategic priority, evidenced by the Green Life eco-label, CO2-neutral production, PPWR compliance preparation, and the closed-loop leasing model.
