Mannheim (Germany), October 17, 2007 – At K 2007, the largest worldwide trade show for plastics and rubber, all of the divisions of the Röchling Group will appear together for the first time. “We have successfully transformed ourselves into a pure plastics processor over the last several years and established Röchling as a brand. Röchling stands for proficiency in plastics. This development is of course also reflected in a joint corporate image”, explained Georg Duffner, President and CEO of the Röchling Group.
