80 years in plastics

80 years in plastics

”This year we could celebrate our 80th birthday. A midsummer fest was held at the headquarters of Labotek at our global sales meeting, with participants from all over the world.

Founded in 1943, Labotek has been a pioneer of solutions to the plastics industry. During the years we have e.g. sold more than 100,000 PGT’s – of which many still are functioning, which proves our cutting-edge solutions and high quality. 

Denmark has strong traditions for design; right from the childhood of plastics, Danish designers saw the opportunities in the new material. From B&O radios made of bakelite to Lego bricks, large-scale windmills, and footprints in rubber. Though Denmark is almost invisible on a world map, Danish design is world famous and appreciated all over the world.”
