Thomas Hantel: Continuity in person

The mission and concern of Pro - Pac is the packaging, protection and presentation of fresh food. As a manufacturer of flexible plastic packaging made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PET) and acc. DIN EN 13432 biologically degradable polylactic acid / maize starch (PLA), we develop sophisticated products in various segments in the field of food packaging. We consider ourselves as a freshness guarantor; as a trustworthy and reliable partner for trade and industry. In accordance with a One-Stop-Shop philosophy, we cover the entire process chain for you, from development, via production, high-quality finishing, maximally efficient packaging, right up to transportation - all centrally controlled and from a single source.

Freshness starts here!

Our slogan »Hier fängt die Frische an!« (Freshness starts here) describes our core actions, and is considered as a promise and added value for our customers. Communicating and maintaining the freshness of the food in the packaging are essential criteria for the purchasing decisions of consumers. In this context, we develop optimum, individualised solutions with our customers for a perfect and successful food presentation. Simultaneously, »Hier fängt die Frische an!« also stands for our daily motivation and challenge to continually become better, to optimise our products, to venture along new paths and to inspire our customers with refreshing concepts.
