Since our first manufactured cast film in 1980 and the founding of the company in Halfing near Rosenheim, Germany, Profol has quickly built a solid reputation: Outstanding product performance and outstanding personalized customer service have been everyday values at Profol. We embrace the ever-changing challenges of our industry and are passionate about delivering the best customized solutions. Talk to our employees and customers – and you will feel our spirit!
