Sausage case maker to build Polish factory

Last year, the German-owned company invested €300,000 to launch its first plastic food casings extrusion operation in a leased unit in the same zone where it planned to employ 40.

Its latest expansion plan involves further investment of at least €2.3m before the end of next year with the construction of the new plant where it will employ a further 10 people. CaseTech also plans to step up research and development including the creation of new types of plastic product.

The company, part of Germany’s Adcuram Group based in Munich, already manufactures its traditional trademark ‘Walsroder’ cellulose-based fibrous raw sausage casings.

The immediate parent of the Polish business is CaseTech, based in Bomlitz, Germany, which has other manufacturing sites in Germany and Willowbrook, Illinois in the US.
