Bei Jacob sind alle Bereiche des Unternehmens unter einem Dach vereint. Die Drehtechnik und die Kunststofftechnik sind seit 1973 hier in Kernen-Rommelshausen untergebracht. Die Produktionsbereiche wurden in den darauffolgenden Dekaden stets modernisiert und erweitert. Der Formen- und Werkzeugbau kamen hinzu und ein hauseigenes Labor. Und seit 2009 sorgt unser hochmodernes Logistikzentrum hier am Standort für eine optimale Verfügbarkeit. Entwicklung, QS, Vertrieb und Verwaltung findet man in unmittelbarer Nähe. So sind die Wege bei uns kurz, um auf die Bedürfnisse unserer Kunden flexibel und schnell zu reagieren.

ALUCOBOND® is a composite panel consisting of two aluminium cover sheets and a fire-retardant or non-combustible mineral-filled core. The superb properties of this material boost one’s inspiration and offer constructing engineers and designers a whole new range of solutions.

ALUCORE® is an aluminium composite panel consisting of two cover sheets and a honeycomb core of aluminium for a variety of applications in transport and industry or architecture, showing excellent product properties such as extraordinary flatness, large variety of colours and high formability.

Numerous accessories around the mould such as cycle counters and the Meusburger ­Moldstick, as well as safety related products for an effective protection of the mould ­during operation, transportation and storage.

There's an effective solution for visual impairments caused by reflections: LimitedReflection engraving. Better ergonomics and increased safety are just two of the many aspects for which Krüth developed LimitedReflection engraving.

Tightest tolerances in the functional area

ARBOFORM®, ARBOBLEND®, and ARBOFILL®: From the finest fibers for yarns and textiles, to completely pollutant-free baby toys, to robust molded parts like the "lost core"; for all Brembo SGL Carbon carbon ceramic brakes used by companies such as Porsche and Formula 1. We advise you on material selection, processing, mold and tool design, and all aspects of our materials. Our development team supports you throughout the development of your new product with extensive expertise in material, process, and application properties. Material parameters can be determined quickly and efficiently in our in-house laboratory to enable rapid material optimization when needed. All TECNARO bioplastics are completely free of PFAS and BPA, making them particularly environmentally and health-friendly. Furthermore, compared to plastics made from fossil raw materials, our materials boast a significantly better CO₂ footprint – in many cases, they even achieve a negative CO₂ value (cradle to gate). Our formulations thus actively contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and offer a sustainable alternative for a wide variety of applications.

Their own high-performance antistatic masterbatch with a long lasting effect, has been further developed by the family business from Blankenhain. The product was introduced at the K 2019. “We have adapted the recipe and optimized it for other carrier materials. Depending on the application and storage conditions, the long-term effect can last up to four years. It occurs immediately after the end product has been manufactured,” explains additive specialist Dr. Carlos Caro, referring to the special feature of the development. “The surface resistance is in the static-dissipative range between 10E6 and 10E9 ohms. These values are very difficult to achieve with other products on the market”. The high-performance antistatic masterbatch has several compelling effects. It avoids the occurrence of sudden discharges, reduces dust attraction on surfaces and minimizes the risk of explosions. “This provides better protection for both staff and sensitive electrical equipment,” says the expert. “The product can be combined with colour masterbatches or fillers as desired by the customer. The lower dosage of 2 to a maximum of 5 percent results in effective cost savings”. In addition, the antistatic substances can also be used as lubricants or demoulding aids. The areas of application for the additive are therefore diverse. “Applications are possible in the areas of film extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulds, staple fibres and nonwovens as well as deep-drawn parts,” explains the expert, but points out that this only applies to the industrial sector. “The high-performance antistatic masterbatch can also be used in the non-food sector for transparent and colourless articles. Applications with food contact or in medical technology are not possible”.

The demand for consumer electronics and home appliances is on the rise, fueled by factors such as the increased use of smart electronics and appliances, rising disposable incomes, the surge in the work-from-home trend, and the expanding base of nuclear families. This growing demand is a testament to the integral role that appliances play in our daily lives
