What Flexibau,s.r.o. does
Flexibau, s.r.o., operating under the PackWall brand, is a Czech privately held manufacturer founded in 2015 and headquartered in Prague (Na Poříčí 1079/3a) as part of GES GROUP. The company operates a production line in Milevsko, South Bohemia, and in November 2025 opened a licensed manufacturing plant in Kühnsdorf, Carinthia, Austria. Flexibau holds Czech patent rights on a hot-pressing process that converts used beverage cartons — covering the cellulose, polyethylene, and aluminum fractions — into structural building boards without added chemicals or adhesives. Conventional paper mills can only recover the cellulose component, so the technology addresses an otherwise under-recycled waste stream.
The product portfolio comprises four board families: BASIC (unfinished base board), BASIC PROFILE (edge-profiled for sealing and acoustic joints), DESIGN (single-sided decorative), and DESIGN DOUBLE (double-sided decorative), with PackWall ART unveiled in November 2025 for a March 2026 launch. Boards target two primary segments — construction (partitions, walls, floors, roofs, fencing) and furniture/interior design — as sustainable alternatives to OSB, MDF, HDF, chipboard, and plasterboard. Documented performance includes 32 dB air sound insulation, 0.42 kg CO2e/m² (DESIGN DOUBLE), and an 85–90% lower CO2 footprint than conventional boards; certifications include an EPD and Green Brand label.
Revenue is generated through two streams: direct and distributor-mediated sale of PackWall boards (Czech/Slovak distributors include Bigmat, Agrozet, Stavebniny Liběnice, Demos-trade, Dřevotrust) and licensing of the patented process to manufacturing partners in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and Austria, with Benelux production in preparation. Named enterprise users include KFC Australia, SAPELI, SONNENTOR, Costa Coffee, and Skanska, alongside numerous architectural and residential project references. Go-to-market blends sales-led direct B2B, channel partners, trade-fair presence (Imm Cologne 2024, ECOMONDO Rimini 2025, Building Fair Brno 2026), and OEM licensing.

Products and services
- BASIC Versatile construction board without surface treatment, designed for further customization through gluing, lamination, painting, or other finishing methods. Suitable for interior partitions, ceilings, sandwich panels, perimeter walls, floors, and temporary building applications. Made from 100% recycled beverage cartons.
- BASIC PROFILE Construction board with specially profiled edges featuring indentations (10–15 mm width) on both longitudinal sides for easy application, sealing, and smooth surface preparation. Provides enhanced acoustic properties due to sealed joints that prevent passage of sound waves.
- DESIGN Board with transparent parchment paper finish applied to the base composite, highlighting the authentic structure of compressed packaging materials. Each board is visually unique. Intended for final visible applications as decorative cladding panels or architectural details.

Flexibau,s.r.o. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Swiss Krono: Major European manufacturer of OSB, MDF, and HDF boards with broad construction and furniture distribution. Provides the incumbent benchmark PackWall positions against for cost and availability.
