THE COMPANY RUNS IN THE FAMILY
The company has proudly borne the Roffelsen name since 1977. The company has been handed from father to son, following the same recipe: “Always offer quality, reliability and flexibility.” Three core values that have been followed for three generations; in addition to the family ties, they make up the DNA of the company.
Roffelsen Plastics started with the production of clothes line cables. The entrepreneurship of the family members ensured that the product range has grown extensively, and the constant drive for innovative developments continues to grow.
But it is not just the range that they are trying to grow, Roffelsen Plastics is also striving to increase its knowledge, experience, and natural customer base. This healthy, business approach has bought the company to its proud position of leading manufacturer of plastic products and specialist in extrusion technology.
Roffelsen Plastics now has two business locations. The headquarters are located in the Netherlands, while manufacturing is carried out in Slovakia. The extensive network of distributors ensures that the products go all over the world to a variety of niche markets and consumers, as well major global players.
