  History  
     
  Almost 50 years of experience in plastic processing in our group has made rommelag® the number one producer worldwide in the field of Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) technology.  
     
  First experience was gathered with the extrusion of plastic film. Key element for the group's expansion, however, was the invention of the BFS process by our engineer Gerhard Hansen in the beginning of the 1960s.  
     
  This was followed by the formation of machine building companies, sales companies and contract packaging companies.
