About us


For 35 years we have been producing as POLYWEST GmbH & Co. KGH in our main factory in Ahaus. Our products are sleeves and adapter systems for the packaging printing industry.

On a ground area of more than 14,000 m² (3.5 acres) and a production floor space of 6,000 m² (150,000 sq. ft.), put simply, we manufacture roller-like bodies of various sizes and properties that are required for printing flexible packaging materials such as foil or paper. The properties, structure and size of our product vary greatly, depending on whether it is packaging for a chocolate bar, a 70″ television or something else entirely.

In addition to a variety of plastics, we work with the most advanced carbon and fibreglass materials. We currently employ around 90 employees and trainees on a production area of 6,000 m² in Ahaus. Our company is DIN ISO 9001:2015 certified.
