history of the firm Print

Approx. 100 million cans annually, with volumes of between 9 ml and 5 litres, are produced from tinplate and aluminium by 170 employees in Kufstein.

Clients can be found all over Europe with products like lacquers, adhesives, car accessories, edible oils, coffee and cosmetics.

Northwest from Vienna, at Korneuburg, with approx. 50 staff, larger cans up to 35 liters are produced at the Reichsfeld subsiduary (100 % Pirlo).

It is a long process from tinplate to the completed tins, which are often multi-colour printed and specially lacquered. The expected quality from clients can only be achieved with the most modern mechanical equipment. The necessary flexibility is made possible by unique primary printing and highly precise machine engineering production. All production lines are equipped with in-line automatic quality testers to ensure that only 100 % sealed cans leave our company.
