Plastiflex has been a portfolio company of IK Investment Partners since 2021 and is a global leader in the manufacturing of extruded spiral tubing and hose systems for medical and industrial applications.

 

Through the acquisition, Plastiflex adds expertise in high-end plastic injection molding, especially for medical technology to its own production portfolio. In addition to synergies from a strong alliance, Walter Potthoff will benefit from a global production network of eight manufacturing facilities with clean room manufacturing capacity for supplying its customers worldwide. Walter Potthoff’s manufacturing facility in Kierspe will become the European healthcare manufacturing hub for the Plastiflex Group and will also be the global center of excellence for injection molding.
