From slide frame manufacturer to air cushion innovator
The history of AIRWORKS reaches back to the year 1963. In our early years, when we still specialised in the manufacture and development of slide frames, we were able to establish ourselves as the world’s third largest manufacturer under the Quickpoint brand. Dissatisfied with the packaging available for the company’s own products, company founder Hanns Loersch took action himself in the 1990s and developed solutions. In the following years, the company’s focus completely shifted to innovative packaging systems.
Air cushion films were an unusual solution which were initially laughed at, but soon recognized as an innovation and eventually became the standard in the packaging industry. We’ve been offering our products under the AIRWORKS name since 2009 and are now the only company in the world to develop and manufacture both air cushion machines and air cushion films.
Because we think holistically: We create better workspace
Our packaging solutions are based on years of use in practice. We know that efficient processes are only possible if workstations are designed with ergonomics in mind and when distances are kept as short as possible. This is why our solutions not only provide protection during transport, but improve working conditions for your employees as well.
To design each solution as perfectly as possible, our components can be adapted to individual needs and applications. Our perfectly coordinated system solutions can be used like a flexible kit and combined as according to your specific requirements. From health-friendly single packaging station to the ergonomic packaging line, AIRWORKS stands for the protection of your products and the health of your employees.
Our idea of sustainability
From purchasing to production to delivery, sustainable business defines our entire value chain. Since being founded, we’ve relied completely on regional production and local procurement. We build all our machines right here on site from recycled aluminium to ensure they have a long service life and use virtually no wear parts.
This ecological aspect also applies to our air cushions: They’re among the most resource-friendly, most lightweight and most compact solutions for the protection of merchandise. Just like our machines, our air cushions are developed and manufactured on site and are 100 percent recyclable. We also offer air cushions made of recycled materials and renewable raw materials.
Our social and regional commitment
Since being founded over 60 years ago, we as a company have been closely connected to the Lower Rhein region. This is why we regularly support a host of civic and social activities and events, including the Straelen City Festival, the widely renowned City of Flowers Festival, the Wind Park Festival and Blue Light Night for the benefit of the local volunteer fire brigade.
We also cooperate with the Hephata workshops, where people with disabilities work in a variety of manufacturing jobs. In addition to our local commitment, we also support national social projects, such as the AEPN Mauretanienhilfe e.V. aid project. As one of the main sponsors of the regional Career Kick trade fair, we offer youth an opportunity to get to know our company up close.
