The sale of the plant concludes a process started by the plastics specialist in 2011. “We are investing the proceeds in new mobility,” said Erwin Doll, Vice-chairman of the Roechling Group and responsible for the Automotive division.

“We stand by our responsibility to all employees. This is why a long-term perspective for the plant was important to us. With Kasai Kogyo, we have found a company to be the right partner.”

No job losses are anticipated.

Roechling Automotive belongs to the Mannheim-based Roechling Group with more than 9,700 employees at 90 locations worldwide.
