Based on years of expertise in the master batch industry, we fully understand that the quality of equipment is decisive for both the performance of plastic films and the overall efficiency of production. For this reason, our initial focus was placed on German companies, since they are recognized worldwide for their precision, rigor, and long history of innovation. Many of these enterprises have operated for several decades, some even exceeding a century, and they remain highly influential among blown film extrusion machine manufacturers. Below is an overview of several representative enterprises and the particular strengths they demonstrate.
Windmöller & Hölscher KG was founded in 1869 and headquartered in Lengerich. The company is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of flexible packaging machinery. It produces equipment that covers the entire chain from resin to packaging solutions, including blown film machines, printing presses lines, and laminator machines. Among its most recognized products is the VAREX II blown film line. They are designed with a modular structure that supports a broad range of applications. In 2018, around 8% of its annual turnover was reinvested into R&D, reflecting a strong commitment to continuous technological advancement.

Founded in 1962, Goettfert is a leading global supplier of polymer rheology and quality control instruments. Its portfolio includes extrusion testing machines, rheometers, and dedicated film testing units such as the Blown Film Unit (BFU) and Flat Film Unit (FFU). These systems allow evaluation of dispersion, color variation, film thickness uniformity, transparency, and gloss. The BFU300 blown film machine, in particular, serves both small-scale production and laboratory research for food and packaging applications. Known for precision, repeatability, and advanced data acquisition software, Goettfert provides laboratories and quality departments with highly reliable testing solutions.
Established in 1911, Reifenhäuser is a globally recognized manufacturer of blown film lines. With its EVO Ultra Stretch technology, the company became the first worldwide to successfully produce 18-micron MDO PE films. Having delivered more than 7,500 projects, Reifenhäuser combines deep technical expertise with a strong emphasis on sustainable production.
Founded in 1949 and headquartered in Sankt Augustin, KUHNE develops machinery for both film and sheet production. Its portfolio includes customized extrusion equipment such as water-cooled blown film lines and advanced co-extrusion systems. The group holds a strong market position in Europe and has extended its presence worldwide.

With an in-depth understanding of how upstream equipment parameters influence film performance, Standard Masterbatch has developed extensive know-how in formulation design and on-site process adjustment for film extrusion. What we offer is not only the connection between “equipment settings, formulation requirements, and production workflow,” but also the ability to help customers maintain consistent film quality while optimizing production costs.
Specialized film-oriented formulations: Our expertise allows us to balance tensile strength, tear resistance, and heat-seal performance, and to adjust masterbatch recipes or addition methods to fit the processing window of specific equipment.
✅ Multi-resin compatibility and functional customization: We work with PE, PP, EVA, TPU, and other common resins, developing masterbatches for opacity, anti-migration, matte finish, barrier properties, anti-static, and antioxidant performance.
✅ High dispersion and color stability: Our optimized carrier systems and dispersion techniques minimize color variation, streaking, or edge defects during high-speed extrusion and film stretching, reducing waste and ensuring stable film appearance.
✅ Support across lab, pilot, and full-scale production: We provide seamless support from small laboratory samples to pilot trials and industrial-scale production, with technical teams ready to cooperate in customized development projects. Trial samples and technical assistance are available free of charge to support new product development.
✅ Compliance and documentation: We can provide TDS, COA, and compliance certificates (RoHS, REACH, food-contact testing, etc.) as required, and assist customers in preparing batch data and audit documentation.
✅ Stable supply chain and production capacity: With batch-scale production systems, secured inventory, and flexible packaging or shipping options, we ensure timely delivery and supply continuity.
✅ Cost-performance optimization: Through careful formulation design, we help customers maintain film performance while reducing material usage or replacing high-cost components, lowering the unit cost of film production.
