Europlast Kunststoffbehälterindustrie GmbH

What Europlast Kunststoffbehälterindustrie GmbH does

Europlast Kunststoffbehälterindustrie GmbH is an Austrian plastic injection moulding manufacturer headquartered in Dellach im Drautal, Carinthia. Founded in 1995, the company operates a single ISO 50001-certified, CO2-neutral production site with on-site recycling and injection moulding machines up to 4,500 tons clamping force. Its portfolio spans four streams: industrial and logistics containers (including ADR-certified dangerous goods boxes, battery collection boxes, and logistics pallets), agricultural boxes (400L–850L, food-safe HDPE), municipal waste collection bins (2-wheel 60L–360L and 4-wheel 660L–1700L systems with specialty variants such as Grabber, Hercules, Bio-bin, Öko-bin, and Diamond), and contract manufacturing services. A registered patent underpins its thin-wall container technology (Dünnwandtechnik), and a proprietary stabilizer formulation supports product longevity.

The company sells primarily through a B2B direct sales force with dedicated international sales management, supported by a sales network (Verkaufsnetzwerk) and an e-commerce shop that captures smaller orders above a EUR 100 net minimum. Pricing is unit-based with daily-rate adjustments tied to labour, material, and currency movements. Customers include enterprise accounts in waste management (SAUBERMACHER AG), municipal government (Wiener Magistratsabteilung MA 48), and recyclers (Peter Seppele), alongside a long tail of agricultural and regional SMB buyers. The firm operates across Austria as its core market, with active sales presence in Italy and Poland.

Europlast has accumulated ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and ISO 45001 certifications, ADR approval for dangerous goods transport, and food-safety compliance — collectively forming a regulatory moat in municipal and hazardous-materials tenders. Recent product launches (240 K Recycling Container in 2025; 16 L Battery Collection Box and CT/X MS Maximum Airflow in 2023; 770 L wind-optimized lid and Lid-in-Lid system in 2022) and a 2022 assembly-hall expansion suggest an active product and capacity agenda. Ownership is private with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds; CEO Georg Schnaubelt was appointed in 2024.

Direct peers

• CABKA Group: Manufacturer of plastic pallets and large-volume containers, including recycled-content and specialized industrial bins. Overlaps with Europlast in logistics pallets and industrial/agricultural boxes.
• AUER Packaging: Manufacturer of plastic stackable containers, storage bins, and pallet solutions serving industrial and agricultural customers in Europe. Comparable mid-market player with injection-moulded HDPE product range.
• Schoeller Allibert: European leader in returnable plastic packaging, containers, and pallets. Directly comparable to Europlast across industrial containers, agricultural boxes, and waste collection bins, with overlapping HDPE injection-moulded product families.
• Utz Group: Swiss/European manufacturer of plastic containers, pallets, and recycling bins. Direct overlap in municipal waste collection (2-wheel and 4-wheel bins) and industrial container segments.
• BITO-Lagertechnik: European manufacturer of plastic stacking containers, bins, and pallets serving industrial and agricultural customers. Comparable injection-moulded HDPE offering and similar B2B distribution model.
• Craemer Group: German plastic injection-moulding specialist producing pallets, containers, and waste bins via HDPE. Closely comparable product portfolio and customer base (municipal waste, agricultural, industrial logistics).

Regional players

• Spilling Group (TOYOPLAS): Mid-sized German injection-moulding specialist producing technical plastic components and containers. Comparable custom moulding capability, primarily serving DACH-region industrial customers.

Others

• Geuther Kindermöbel: Not a direct competitor; listed as an example of an Austrian/German SME plastics manufacturer with similar sustainability certifications - useful comparable for operational benchmarks rather than product overlap.

Broad incumbents

• Plastic Omnium: Large global plastics manufacturer with diversified automotive and industrial products. Comparable injection-moulding capability at scale but serving different primary end markets.
• SSI Schäfer: Large global intralogistics provider offering plastic containers, bins, and waste-handling solutions as part of a broader warehouse automation portfolio. Overlaps in waste and industrial containers but with much wider scope.
