elasto inaugurates new production hall

On 2 July 2025, elasto GmbH & Co. KG officially inaugurated its new hall for injection moulding during the celebrations at the headquarters in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The new hall of the plastic producer combines technology and sustainability. “With the start of operations, all production areas and management are now located at one main location – a meaningful milestone in the strategic further development of the company and a clear commitment to the location Sulzbach-Rosenberg,’ says elasto CEO Marcus Sperber.

Highly flexible in-house production “Made in Germany”

The investment for new construction totalled four million euros. The new production hall is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and robot technology and consistently sustainable energy supply. Smart process solutions ensure efficient processes and increased production output. “With the new hall, we are strengthening our production capacities in Germany in a targeted manner and creating the basis for even more efficient, high-quality and resource-friendly production. At the same time, we secure regional jobs and facilitate short routes throughout the entire value-added chain,” explains Marcus Sperber. A forward-looking component of the expansion is the complete relocation of toolmaking from Hohenstadt to Sulzbach-Rosenberg. Development, production, and finishing will be bundled in one location. – for fully integrated and highly flexible in-house production “Made in Germany”.

Technology Meets Sustainability

The hall has 50 modern injection moulding machines that are 95% automated and operated by handling robots. A centralised material conveyance ensures smooth operations, shorter run times and increased production volumes. Elasto is also setting new standards in terms of sustainability. Around 900 solar modules were installed on the roofs of the halls, which will save more than 166,000 kilograms CO₂. The company’s photovoltaic power totals 1.5 million Kilowatt hours per year – a considerable contribution to sustainable plastic production in Germany. www.elasto.de
