DUO PLAST – Our History
The history of DUO PLAST began in 1983 with the foundation in Lauterbach / Germany. What initially began as a pure trading company continued to develop quickly. In 1990 DUO PLAST started producing tailored films on various cutting and wrapping systems. Back in 1998 one of the most efficient plants for the production of blown film was put into operation. The company brought films of an up to now unknown quality on the market. Constant innovation and superior product quality made DUO PLAST® quickly to a technological leader in the film market.
