Rhein-plast Gmbh

What Rhein-plast Gmbh does

Rhein-Plast GmbH is a German manufacturer of industrial packaging liners, bags, and sacks produced from recyclable polyethylene films, headquartered in Bad Dürkheim with a secondary production facility in Ennepetal. Founded in 1959, the company operates its own blown film extrusion, printing, and assembly operations across roughly 27,100 square meters of production footprint, producing GMP-compliant containment systems, primary packaging, continuous liners, FIBC inliners, transfer bags, pharmaceutical isolators, aluminum composite bags, and closure components. Manufacturing takes place in Cleanroom ISO 5/7/8 environments under ISO 9001 certification with FDA compliance, and products carry 100% traceability documentation suitable for pharmaceutical process validation.

The company serves regulated industries where contamination control and product/operator protection are paramount, including pharmaceuticals (API/HPAPI handling, aseptic filling, sterile manufacturing), biotechnology, CDMOs, battery manufacturing (cathode and anode powder handling with antistatic containment), and fine chemicals. Rhein-Plast runs a direct enterprise sales motion with dedicated key account managers for Pharma, Food, and Key Accounts plus regional coverage (including France), supplemented by a self-service e-commerce channel (liner-profi.com) for standard liner products and participation in industry events.

Since January 2022, Rhein-Plast has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ringmetall SE within the group's Industrial Packaging Liner business unit. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of custom and standard packaging products, with pricing determined per consultation and multi-year contracts implied for major enterprise customers. The company does not disclose revenue publicly, and it recently launched a new product portfolio platform to showcase its full range of containment and single-use solutions for pharmaceutical, biotech, and regulated industries.
