Company Profile
The Company Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Verbundmaterial Diez mbH (EVD) is the manufacturer of the material Tectan®. It was established in 1990 by the international Tetra Pak Group with the aim of producing secondary products from coated cardboard waste. When Tetra Pak decided in 1997 not to continue EVD in its original form, the employees involved in the development took over the company.
Today, we manufacture items using the injection moulding process for industrial use, such as core plugs for paper cores and edge protectors. Our clientele includes, among others, large Swedish paper mills. These are supplied directly from our production plant, just in time, by rail transport. Raw materials for our products include, among others, production waste from the beverage carton industry, which gives the material its unique properties.

What we represent
We strive to create the conditions for ecologically sustainable development and optimal utilization of raw materials and energy resources by permanently improving our processes, products and manufacturing methods.

During the manufacture of products made of Tectan® we ensure there is no negative ecological impact on the air, the soil or water.

Our production processes and products are designed in such a way that all generated production residues are returned to the manufacturing process.

We develop innovative products for our clients and in cooperation with our clients, products that offer customized solutions for each client’s specific requirements.
Our commitments
In order to guarantee sustainable production across the board we use green electricity, thus saving approx. 380 t of CO2 every year. Our commitment to the environment and reusing secondary raw materials is goes hand in hand with social commitment. As such, we support the association Lebenshilfe Limburg e.V. with donations and internships. Since 2013 we have employed one of the organization’s staff as a fixed member of our team. Supporting the German Police Union with an annual donation is also close to our hearts. Among other things, the funds are used for preventative traffic safety measures in elementary schools.

About  Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Verbundmaterial Diez (EVD)

The EVD mbh was founded in 1990 by the Tetra Pak Group to produce secondary products from coated cardboard waste. The resulting material, Tectan®, is used for the production of sleeve plugs and edge protectors, which play an important role in transport security. Modern high-performance machines ensure a high level of process reliability. The resulting quality is reflected in the satisfaction of our steadily growing customer base.

With the support of funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, we are investing in a new injection moulding machine to increase energy and resource efficiency. The objective is to achieve an increase of at least 20% in energy efficiency and to save at least 40 tonnes of CO2 compared to the old plant technology.
