Orafol commits €235m to ‘Shaping the Future’

Orafol, a global leader in the manufacture of innovative self-adhesive graphic films, reflective materials and adhesive tape systems has announced a significant, €235m, 5-year investment program – captured through its strategic Roadmap 2030: Shaping the Future. The bulk of this investment will go into further development of its headquarters in Oranienburg (35km north of Berlin, Germany), as well as supporting additional global expansion projects in the sales regions of Europe, North and South America, and Asia-Pacific. The Asia- Pacific future strategy includes signing of a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a new production plant in Korea.

Dr. Holger Loclair, Chairman & CEO of the ORAFOL Group, says: “This roadmap, along with its significant investment initiative, reflects our optimism and represents a distinct commitment to our home base in Germany. At the same time, we have built up the strength to consistently pursue our growth globally through investments. Both are crucial to our goal of remaining a market leader.”

Loclair further confirms the move as a win-win for customers, employees and partners of Orafol, with the planned investment signalling ‘long-term stability and a commitment to the continued development of its home base, supporting the Brandenburg region as an industrial hub, coupled with global expansion to ensure sustainable growth’.

Orafol successfully acquired Korean company Reflomax in September 2025. The decision to sign an MOU, committing more than USD$60m for the first expansion phase of an Orafol production plant in the Seoul region of Korea, also shows clear intent to further strengthen Orfafol’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region and to implement innovative reflective technologies within the Orafol Group.

In a media statement, Orafol notes: ‘This new Roadmap also enhances planning certainty for the technology and development partners of our globally active, family-owned company across the entire value chain, which talks to long-term stability in spite of a challenging market environment’.
