A MAN AND HIS VISION IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ULRICH KOSSIN Ulrich Kossin spent much of his career as the head of an accounting practice in Vreden, Westphalia. His insight into business gave him a unique view of a changing world. By the early 1990s, he realised that some of the best investment opportunities lay in future-oriented companies. When packaging legislation was introduced in Germany in 1991, Ulrich Kossin saw the potential for an exciting new business sector. He took a leap of faith and founded HAHN Kunststoffe GmbH in 1993. The new company was based in Hunsrück, more than 180 miles...

Over the years, we’ve used our processing...

WHERE'S THE CATCH? THERE ISN'T ONE. WHAT MAKES HANIT® UNIQUE? Each material has its advantages. Unfortunately, they also have their drawbacks. Wood, for example, is attractive but it can't withstand the rain and cold for long. Time-consuming maintenance helps but wood can't last forever. Concrete is very durable but it's too heavy for many applications. Concrete is difficult to transport and as years go by, dirt and water marks take their toll. It can also crack in cold weather and flake. Steel on the other hand, is incredibly versatile but it rusts - and stainless steel is expensive. New...
