Effective January 1, 2014, the two RKW locations Michelstadt and Philippsthal were incorporated into the new company, RKW Agri GmbH & Co. KG. This spin-off will form the basis for new strategic alliances in the agricultural films and nets sector.

These were incorporated into the new company, RKW Agri GmbH & Co. KG, with effect of January 1, 2014.

"Moreover, this step will create more opportunities for strategic alliances and takeovers."
RKW Agri says it now intends to acquire the Belgian film manufacturer Hyplast NV. At present the Anti-Trust Commission is examining this acquisition.
