THE BLOWMOLDING MACHINE BRAND

BEKUM was founded in 1958 in Berlin, Germany and has ever since played a very significant role in the writing of blow molding technology. The very same year BEKUM introduced the first neck finish calibration in the world which is still used by all manufacturers of blow molding machines to date.

Numerous inventions and over 40 patents followed, such as the first double station machines (1963), six-layer co-extrusion heads (1970), and other trend-setting innovations which became industry standard. With over 20,000 blow molding machines shipped and manufacturing plants in Europe, the USA and Brazil, together with sales and service subsidiaries in Africa and Asia, BEKUM is one the few global players in the extrusion blow molding sector.
