Experienced People:

At a recent Röchling sales meeting I took a moment to look around the room and was amazed by the large number of people in the room with over 20 years experience in the plastics industry.  Of these people most had over 15 years at Röchling.  The experience and time with Röchling says a lot about Röchling as a company.  Röchling Engineering Plastics employs over 200 people in North America.  Röchling employs over 6,500 people worldwide.

A sign of a good supplier is quality experienced people  who have a long tenure with that company.  I along with many others am proud to have a very long association with Röchling.  Distributors who make Röchling one of their primary suppliers rarely leave Röchling because of the quality people and products.  Like Röchling’s people they become an important part of this special company.

Röchling is the only North American manufacturer who has both the ISO 9001-2008 and ISO 13485 quality certifications.
