Our story
Company foundation
NOVOPLAST GmbH was founded in Breitenbach on 25th April 1945. In addition to the three founders Leo Felix (from left), Alfred Borer and Paul Henzi, another partner, André Fischer, joined them.
Rapid growth required constant expansion of the production area. In 1947, the company had 31 employees. In April 1947, the company moved to Wallbach (AG).
Industrialisation
The industrialisation of plastics technology continuously led to new processes and products. Soon NOVOPLAST was producing PVC water pipes and various products for electricians, such as PVC strip terminals. In bowling, wood was also replaced by plastic. Therefore, plastic skittles and wide neck bottles were produced.
Technology and automation
The company continued to expand and two new modern production halls were inaugurated. The machine park included a small and a large extrusion department. Modern mixing plants were used for preparing the material and the granulates were stored in silos for processing later.
Novoplast Hungary
The markets rapidly changed. The pressure of competition grew due to ongoing globalisation. Novoplast founded the production plant in Iharosbereny, Hungary.
In addition to constant automation for extrusion in Wallbach, one- and two-component injection moulding was advanced at the locations in Hungary and Switzerland to ensure competitiveness.
NOVOPLAST's new building
The company invested around nine million Swiss francs to completely renovate and reconstruct its company building in Wallbach. For production, the building was designed to allow for an optimal flow of goods and for open and direct communication from office to office. The result is that the original domed Isler roof with the unsupported rooms conveys an acoustically friendly atmosphere.
The age of digitisation
NOVOPLAST uses the most modern means of communication and knowledge dissemination to promote entrepreneurial resilience in a volatile economic environment through high flexibility and speed. Flexible employees, who are willing to learn, together with lean management are the foundation for sustainable success.
