This year, Neschen Coating GmbH has marked its 135th Anniversary, highlighting the company’s long-standing commitment to quality, adaptability and forward-thinking innovation, which have shaped its enduring success. Founded in 1889 by pharmacist Georg König as a small plaster factory, Neschen quickly became a pioneer in adhesive film production, notably with the ‘Bückeburger Hühneraugenpflaster’ (corn plaster), a product that established its market foothold. Over the time, the company expanded its expertise, moving into the production of self-adhesive films for book protection and eventually developing solutions for large-format printing and graphic displays.
Neschen’s early products, like filmolux® and typoplast®, laid the foundation for its expansion into international markets and its position as a global leader. A new chapter in the company’s history began when Hans Neschen joined in 1946, bringing with him a vision for the future. Under his leadership, Neschen shifted focus to self-adhesive films for book protection, launching products such as the book protection film filmolux® and the mounting film gudy®, which became cornerstones of the company’s success. Neschen later renamed the company after himself, and his forward-thinking approach and dedication to innovation continue to shape its direction today. Building on its success, Neschen recently introduced easy dot® PET silver L-UV, a PVC-free variant with a mirror effect, catering to the demand for sustainable yet visually impactful solutions in advertising and creative displays.
