15th anniversary from TECNARO - The Biopolymer Company - and hereby "crystal marriage" of the business ?partners Pfitzer and Nägele with their company

Ilsfeld-Auenstein (ots) - With the visionary sentence "There´s a
lot to do - let´s plant it" Dr. Franz Alt pointed out during his
laudation of the award ceremony regarding the Diesel medal 2011 for
the two TECNARO founders for their contribution regarding
sustainability with renewable resources. This appeal could have been
also symbolic already at the early beginning of the 15 years of
TECNARO´s history.

Very few people believed in the success at the beginning: Quotes
like "with lignin you can do anything but earning money". In the
meantime everybody talks about this topic, in many laboratories all
over the world intensive research is on-going and even specific
funding programs regarding the utilization of lignin as a material
resource are in place.

"In 15 years from dusty and smelling lignin waste to the
fashionable Eco-Pumps from Gucci Group and even the European Inventor
Award?, the company history of TECNARO can be summarized.

Basis was the creativity with the almost stubborn persistency of
the - in the meantime a little matured - "young" entrepreneurs. This
led to more than 2,000 bioplastics formulations and hundreds of
serial products made from TECNARO compounds with renewable resources
ARBOFORM®, ARBOFILL® and ARBOBLEND®.

Within this activities specific requirements of varying
applications like e.g. storage boxes, automotive production aids,
baby bathtubs and hoops, medals for tree sponsorships, cups, cutlery
drying racks, flower pots, bonsai vases with integrated lamps, boxes,
brush holders, letter opener, ?computer mouses, designer lamps,
sealings, fragrance dosing devices, shopping cart chips, electro
housings, electro race cars, color rings, filaments, bottle openers,
films, frisbees, watering cans, semi-finished products, staplers,
iphone protection cases, combs, air ventilation for ceramic brake
discs, clarinet mouthpieces, hangers, compost bins, baskets,
correction rollers, crib figurines, plastic-metal-hybrid composites,
laboratory devices, lamp shades, loudspeakers, hole punchers, meander
board games, mailing cards, highlighters, measurement adapters,
nesting boxes, organization systems, profiles, plant bowls,
QuickStaxx stacking aids, back rests, bowls, writing utensils, pans,
shoe heels and soles, protection covers, soap dispensers and soap
dishes, end pieces for ropes, napkin holders and rings, sunglass
frames, toy figures, dishwashing brush, stamp housings, chairs,
trays, palm rest of keypad, sousplats, animal coffins, watches, urns,
vases, lost cores, packaging, forest signs, laundry dryers, water
storage modules, confidential applications, even more confidential
applications, tooth brushes, paper boxes, 3D printing equipment etc.
have been analysed and new sustainable material solutions have been
specified, created, tested and introduced together with TECNARO´s
customers into the market.

To the admittedly hard success contributed employees, courageous
pilot customers during product launches but also visionary partners,
suppliers, consultants, media representatives, bankers, project
management agencies and ministries. Thanks to everybody who was
involved! Future vision for the next 60 TECNARO years: "from crystal
to crown jewels"!
