RKW Danafilms, a part of privately owned RKW Group and one of the leading international manufacturers of high-quality plastic films and nonwovens, has announced on July 15 that it changed its corporate name to RKW North America.

The name RKW North America reflects its solid position in the North American blown film market and the company's commitment to supply a range of premium technical and hygiene films to all clients across North America. RKW Group, which has a global network of R&D expertise in 22 manufacturing sites around the world, has a clear plan to leverage emerging technologies by reinvesting even more than before in state-of-the art equipment for its consolidated technical and hygiene film manufacturing plant in Franklin, Kentucky, according to a press release.

Erik Powell, vice president & general manager of RKW North America said, “Our name — RKW North America — captures the pledge we've made to growing with our customers here in North America. We've become known as a flexible and agile producer of customized mono- and co-extruded films, and we look forward to reinforcing this reputation with world-class technologies to deliver greater long-term opportunities for our customers.”

“We've got great expertise and capacity here in Franklin. We plan to market this capacity at competitive rates and bring on line those technologies that our customers are demanding. In the months and years ahead, RKW North America will tap the global expertise of RKW Group and continue our service commitment to being the de facto solutions provider as we take part in the growth that our customers enjoy,” he added.
