The Kunststoff-Netzwerk Franken e. V. (furthermore mentioned as KNF) sees itself as a place of exchange for companies allocated in the plastics industries branch. Our goal is to bring experts together and provide the opportunity for mutual exchange at the events of work groups and professional events. Participants use these gatherings to establish their personal professional network in the industry. Cross-company communication and business related exchange is the key for the companies and their employees to establish a wide overview over the developments in the plastics industry. All events hosted by KNF aim to boost / strengthen its members’ performances and therefore improve their competitive advantage. The network itself offers a variety of opportunities to increase the benefit for your company. We like to compare our idea of the network to a gym membership. No benefit or improvements can be achieved by merely paying the membership fee. Noticeable changes and effects can only be recognized, when offers provided by the KNF are used regularly and therefore the companies and their employees contribute themselves to the success. As a member in our network you decide yourselves to what extent you will profit from the mutual exchange. Our office is looking forward to supporting you.

KVH-Hartung Vacuum Forming and Thermoforming with Plastic We will manufacture your products in the highest quality and at the best terms according to your requirements using a wide variety of technical thermoplastic materials and the deep-drawing and injection moulding methods. Our own negative deep-drawing method enables us to produce a surface quality that comes so close to injection moulding that a closed casing cannot be distinguished as being a deepdraw component. Our vacuum deep-drawing process offers you a simple and cost-effective way to shape plastics for a batch production thereby providing your product with an optimal functionality and a top surface quality. Through the deep-draw method with tool costs that are almost 90 per cent below average we can enable you to manufacture your product with decisive cost benefits compared with injection moulding. Since KVH specialises in the negative method, we can form the finest contours such as design lines, indentations, logos, surface structures, ribbed patterns and lettering.
