Regionality as a success factor: plastics technology in Esslingen

In today's world, companies in the plastics industry are faced with the challenge of producing sustainably, efficiently and economically. At ISK Kunststofftechnik GmbH near Esslingen, we consciously rely on regional supply chains - not only for environmental reasons, but also out of conviction. After all, short distances not only mean faster response times, but also a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. This fits in perfectly with our aim of actively helping to shape sustainability and modern plastics technology in Esslingen and the surrounding area.

Cooperation with regional partners - from toolmakers to material and packaging suppliers - not only creates trust, but also flexibility. The geographical proximity means that coordination can take place more quickly, tools can be manufactured more efficiently and components can be quickly transferred to production. The direct exchange with local partners is a real competitive advantage, especially for customer-specific projects. For our customers, this means reliable processes, transparent communication and a stable value chain - without long transportation routes or language barriers.

A practical example shows how well this works: For a technical plastic component, we were able to develop and optimize a complex injection moulding tool with a toolmaker from the Esslingen area within a very short space of time and bring it into series production. The close exchange at eye level not only saved time, but also significantly increased the quality of the end product.

Our philosophy of “think globally - act locally” is thus consistently reflected in our daily work. As a supplier of plastics technology in the Esslingen area, we combine technical precision with ecological responsibility and regional strength. The result is not just a product - but a partnership based on sustainability, trust and joint development.
