The rlc | packaging group had a successful 2018. The company achieved its sales growth targets and set its course for the future. With sales totalling €247m, the group closed the year with a 3% increase in revenue compared to 2017. In 2019, the company plans to invest approximately €18m in technology and supply-chain processes.
“These results once again underscore our position as a customer-focused system supplier for FMCG and pharmaceutical packaging,” says Hans-Christian Bestehorn, Managing Partner. “Our ability to adapt to a dynamic, trend-focused market environment enables us to strengthen our position in the European market. We plan to continue expanding our productivity in 2019.”
The group continuously invests in additional resources and new technologies to optimise its packaging value chain and expand its range of innovative packaging solutions.

A new building will be completed at the site and production will commence before the year is out. The investment will enable further growth and meet the highest standards in terms of workflow and process efficiency. Bestehorn explains, “Investments in the digital transformation and intelligent networking of our value chain enable us to continuously shorten lead times and time to market – and set new standards in logistics and agile supply chain management.”
