Active in global growth markets
As a provider of environmentally friendly, flame-retardant fillers and special oxides, we serve growing markets the world over. The reason for this has been the increasing awareness for the environment, safety and sustainability. Driven by regulatory requirements and voluntary commitments by the industry, sustainable - environmentally friendly products and processes are continually gaining the upper hand. This has also increased the demand for our products. In addition, we are also benefiting from global growth trends such as electromobility, energy storage and stricter emission controls for internal combustion engines.

The roots of our company are in Ludwigshafen am Rhein. This is where the businessman Karl Klein, father of two sons, ran the company Ludwigshafener Isolierfabrik K.G. in Ludwigshafen-Mundenheim.
1932 His son, Willi Klein, took over management of the lime works August Kaege in Harxheim/Zellertal.
1959 He founded the Willi Klein insulation materials as a vermiculite expansion operation. This was simultaneously the foundation for the company as it is today.
1961 The lime works, August Kaege Nachf., were taken out of operation.
1975 Willi Klein died and the company has been run by his son, Friedhelm Klein, ever since.
1979 Production was expanded by the setup of a perlite expansion system. Dämmstoff-Fabrik Klein GmbH was founded in the same year.
1985 The moulded parts production "Kawalite" goes into operation.
1996 The new developments in the field of preventative fire protection ("Hapuflam fire protection systems") then followed. Another company was founded on this basis: HaPu Brandschutz Systeme GmbH.
2010 Product and production expansion with takeover of the cable fire stop system "Staudt".
