HISTORICAL.

Start as a florist In 1949, Xenia Friedenstab and her son Heinz founded a flower and wreath-making business in what was then Oeslau. 1949 Relocation to larger
Production The still young company develops well and moves to Ostpreußenstrasse 13. The larger premises are quickly filled. 1958 First
Injection moulding machine At a time when plastics processing was still in a phase of dynamic development, we invested in our first injection moulding machine. 1963 Logistics in the 60s A VW van, fully loaded with plastic parts, on its way to the railway loading bay. No high-tech, no automation - but plenty of entrepreneurial spirit. 1965 Growth phase In times of strong growth, we had to constantly expand our buildings. Parallel to the expansion at the former headquarters, we acquired the property "Am Bahnhof 8". The first warehouse was completed in 1973. 1967 Our main work
in the 70s A bird's eye view of our main plant from back then - with office wing, production and warehouse. The residential building can be seen in the foreground. 1976 Modern injection moulding
in the cellar Our modern ARBURG machines produced around the clock. To minimise noise emissions, production was relocated to the basement. 1980 Continuous expansion Shortly after the start of the office extension, we were able to acquire the neighbouring property "Am Bahnhof 12" - a decisive step in initiating the relocation of our main plant. 1989 New construction of our
Machine hall With the construction of our new machine hall, we laid the foundation for an efficient and targeted flow of goods. Our former company boss Heinz Friedenstab was the client and idea generator. 1992 New spray shop at the railway station We used modern technology to produce mass-produced plastic items. Sustainability was already important to us back then, so we were quick to utilise heat pumps for heat recovery. 1995 The 3rd generation takes over In 1999, Rainer Friedenstab, son of Heinz Friedenstab, takes over the management of the company. At the same time, we celebrate our 50th company anniversary together with numerous partners. 1999 Entry into photovoltaics Rainer Friedenstab invested in the first photovoltaic systems at an early stage. Further expansion stages followed in 2009 and 2011, resulting in a total output of 142 kWp. 2006 4th generation gets on board After studying mechanical engineering, specialising in plastics technology, Christian Friedenstab, son of Rainer Friedenstab, actively joins the family business. 2012 ISO certification With this certification, we have reached another milestone in our quality strategy. The certification emphasises our commitment to structured processes, high product quality and sustainable customer satisfaction. 2014 Christiane Rädlein joins the management team Our family business continues to grow and Christiane Rädlein, sister of Christian Friedenstab, provides us with active support and expertise in the areas of construction, process design and procurement. 2019 Extension
Photovoltaic system By further expanding our photovoltaic systems, we can power our entire production from our own electricity generation on sunny days - an important step towards energy self-sufficient and sustainable production. 2023 VDE certification The VDE certification independently confirms our many years of expertise in the processing of technical plastics and the manufacture of complex assemblies - proof of our high quality and development standards. 2024 Construction site of a machine hall, the shell of Friedenstab Kunststofftechnik can already be seen.
