High-Tech Solutions from a Single Source 

At Lohmann-koester, we combine more than 50 years of expertise with advanced production technologies to deliver reliable closure systems and elastic components for the global hygiene market.
Our fully integrated value chain covers every essential step – from in-house hotmelt formulation and extrusion of thermoplastic elastomers to coating, laminating, die-cutting, slitting, and cross-winding.

With technology centers specialized in nonwovens, PP hook and foils, and elastic laminates, we ensure maximum flexibility, lean workflows, and consistently high quality. Independent of intercontinental supply chains, Lohmann-koester delivers proven solutions – all from a single source.

Our Integrated Value Chain. Strong Bonds. One Partner.

Formulation
Formulation

We tailor each hotmelt formulation to your application. By adjusting polymer and tackifier systems, we fine-tune peel, tack, and shear, enable reliable recloseability, and ensure strong anchorage on PE backsheets, coated frontal tapes, and nonwovens – with low odour, skin-friendly forumulations, and stable processing at high line speeds.

Extrusion
Extrusion

Using advanced extrusion technologies, we process materials such as nonwovens and elastomers into structures with exceptional elasticity. The result? Products that perform reliably under pressure – and adapt perfectly to your application.

 

Converting
Converting

On our modern converting lines, we process nonwovens, foils, elastomers, and laminated materials into rolls, spools, or sheets – precisely tailored to your specifications. This also includes die-cutting: with flatbed, rotary, and laser technologies, we provide high-precision formats with tight tolerances and consistent quality, delivered close to your market worldwide.

 

Coating
Coating

We apply our in-house developed hotmelt adhesives to nonwovens, films, foils, and elastic substrates with high precision. Our coating technologies ensure consistent layer thickness, clean processing, and reliable adhesion – tailored to the specific requirements of hygiene products. 

 

Laminating
Laminating

We laminate nonwovens, films, and elastic materials to create multilayer constructions tailored to hygiene applications. This enables softness, breathability, and functional zoning while ensuring stability and efficiency in high-speed production.

 

Testing
Testing
