Storopack is the trading name used in the supplied sources for Storopack Hans Reichenecker GmbH, a German-headquartered supplier of protective packaging and technical molded parts [1][2]. The company’s own fact sheet describes a group with Packaging and Molding divisions, 69 locations in the countries listed, 2,500 employees worldwide and 2025 sales of EUR 565 million [2]. These are supplier-reported figures. The available evidence supports a research profile of the group’s stated offer; it does not independently establish product performance, certificates, pricing, lead times or suitability for a particular order.
A. Company overview
Storopack presents itself as an internationally active family business, a system supplier and service provider for protective packaging, and an expert for technical applications and molded parts [1]. The fact sheet gives 1959 as the year established and identifies the legal entity as Storopack Hans Reichenecker GmbH, headquartered in Metzingen, Germany [2]. The group is described as divided into two divisions. The Packaging division offers protective packaging materials and packaging equipment, while the Molding division covers tailored protective packaging, temperature-controlled packaging and technical molded parts made from expanded foams [2].
The company’s homepage states that it has worked with customers for more than 60 years and describes a five-step process intended to develop customized packaging solutions [1]. Those statements are supplier claims rather than independent findings. The supplied sources also do not provide a full manufacturing map. They state that 54% of the company’s own products were made from renewable or recycled materials in 2025 and that the Molding division is represented by certified production plants in Europe and China, but they do not list every production site or explain which products are made in-house, assembled, or sourced from partners [2]. Buyers should therefore treat the overview as a starting point for supplier screening and confirm the contracting entity, manufacturing site and product-specific evidence before placing an order.

C. Products, services, and capabilities
The sources describe two commercial divisions and a set of packaging materials, equipment and molded-part services. The table keeps those descriptions at the level the sources support; it does not imply that every option is available for every product, quantity or destination.
| Offering or process | What the source states | What to confirm for your order |
|---|---|---|
| Protective packaging materials, Packaging division | Air cushions (AIRplus), paper packaging (PAPERplus and PAPERbubble), PU foam packaging systems (FOAMplus), and loose-fill materials (PELASPAN PAC and RENATURE) [2]. | Exact product family and grade; dimensions; material composition; recycled or renewable content; compatibility with your pack; sample and test requirements. |

No supplied excerpt lists printing, converting, finishing, dimensions, tolerances, prices, MOQs or lead times at product level. Printing or branding should not be assumed.
D. Locations and production scope
The only full address in the supplied material is the Metzingen headquarters: Untere Rietstrasse 30, 72555 Metzingen, Germany [2]. The fact sheet reports 69 locations in the countries it lists, including India, China, Germany, the UK and the USA [2]. A country listing is not evidence of a factory, warehouse or sales office in every case. For India specifically, the source lists India among the countries with locations but gives no Indian city, address, telephone number or facility role [2].
At production level, the fact sheet states that the Molding division is represented by certified production plants in Europe and China [2]. It does not identify the plants, the certification body or the certificate scope. The Packaging division is described by product families and equipment types, but the supplied excerpts do not state which sites produce the materials or build the packaging systems. The sources also do not say whether any stage is outsourced. Before ordering, a buyer should confirm the proposed manufacturing or fulfillment site, whether the product is supplied from stock or made to order, and the export or delivery route to the destination, including India.
E. Order information and quotation preparation
No supplied source gives a price list, numerical minimum order quantity, guaranteed lead time, sample policy, tooling charge, payment term, Incoterm or ordering portal for Storopack products. The 2025 sales figure of EUR 565 million and the 2,500-employee figure are group-level context, not order-level commercial terms [2]. The fact sheet’s statement that 54% of own products used renewable or recycled materials in 2025 is also a company-level figure and should not be applied to a specific product without confirmation [2].
Use the following inquiry checklist to obtain a comparable quotation. The questions are preparation aids; they do not establish that the supplier offers every listed option.
- Division and product family: Ask whether the requirement sits with the Packaging division (materials, stand-alone equipment or integrated line) or the Molding division (protective, temperature-controlled or technical molded parts) [2].
- Application: Describe the item being protected, its weight and fragility, the transport route, handling conditions, storage duration and any temperature-control requirement.
- Specification: Request the proposed material or foam grade, dimensions, tolerances, pack format, recycled or renewable content, and any printing or branding option. Printing is not listed in the supplied excerpts, so ask rather than assume it is available.
- Quantity and delivery: Give annual and monthly volumes, pack or pallet configuration, delivery destination including India, required arrival date and any storage constraints.
- Samples and validation: Ask for sample units, the sample approval procedure, relevant drop or climate test reports, and any pilot production step.
- Equipment requirements: For packaging systems, provide throughput, line layout, floor space, compressed air or power requirements, operator level, automation preference and integration needs.
- Commercial terms: Request price basis, Incoterm, MOQ, lead time, tooling or setup charges, payment terms, warranty and after-sales support.
- Documentation: Request material data sheets, certificate scope for the proposed site, food or pharmaceutical compliance declarations where relevant, and a quality agreement.
F. Quality, samples, and certificate information
The fact sheet states that the Molding division is represented by certified production plants in Europe and China and that its technology center includes a drop test facility and a climate chamber [2]. These are supplier statements. The supplied material does not identify the certification standard, issuing body, certificate number, scope, validity or the exact plant covered. The homepage refers to a compliance approach and a whistleblower system [1], but no quality-management certificate or product approval is supplied in the excerpts.
No sample policy or product-level test report is provided in the available sources. A buyer should request: copies of relevant certificates with the legal entity and site named; the scope of each certificate; material data sheets; test reports for the proposed packaging or molded part; the sample approval and change-control process; and any food-contact, pharmaceutical or temperature-performance documentation required by the application. Certificate review should be order-specific because a certificate for one site or product family does not automatically cover another.
G. Evidence and information gaps
This profile relies on two official Storopack sources: the company page and the company fact sheet stated as current to August 2026 [1][2]. Both are supplier-controlled and self-reported. No independent audit, registration check, factory inspection, customer reference or certificate verification is supplied. The fact sheet gives the legal name, address, scale figures and division descriptions; the homepage adds positioning and service language. Neither source provides product-level specifications, prices, MOQs, lead times, detailed certificate documents or a complete production-site list.
The phone formatting differs between the two sources, so the correct dialing format should be confirmed. The sources do not create a conflict over the broader business type: both describe protective packaging and molded-part activity. The main unresolved identity and scope questions are the exact contracting entity for a given order, the role of each listed country location, and whether an India-based buyer would be served from local stock, a regional office, a manufacturing site or an export route. The listed India location should not be treated as proof of an Indian factory or warehouse. This is an evidence-limited research draft suitable for initial screening and inquiry preparation, not a final supplier qualification.
H. Next steps for a buyer
Before requesting a quote, a buyer should:
- Confirm the legal entity, division and proposed manufacturing or fulfillment site that will handle the order.
- Send a written specification covering the product to be protected, dimensions, weight, fragility, transport route and any temperature requirement.
- Ask the supplier to recommend a specific product family or molded part and to state the assumptions behind the recommendation.
- Request samples and the associated test method or report, rather than relying on general product descriptions.
- Ask for certificate copies and scope for the proposed site, plus material and compliance data relevant to the application.
- Request a like-for-like quotation with MOQ, lead time, tooling or setup charges, delivery terms and delivery destination.
- Confirm the role of the India location and the delivery or import route if the buyer is in India.
- Ask for relevant case studies or references for the proposed application, while recognising that the supplied homepage lists case studies without providing their contents [1].
These steps are research assistance for comparing supplier responses; they are not a recommendation to transact with Storopack.
