Overview

Tubex Holding is the umbrella identity of the Tubex Group, a mid-sized, family-owned German packaging manufacturer whose corporate parent is Tubex Packaging GmbH, headquartered in Rangendingen in the Zollernalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg. The group's best-known activity is the production of aluminium monobloc aerosol cans — the seamless, one-piece containers used for deodorants, hairsprays, pharmaceuticals, technical sprays and construction chemicals — alongside tubes made of aluminium and plastic. Rangendingen is described by the company as the 'Keimzelle und Stammhaus' (cradle and original home) of the international Tubex corporate group, and it remains a core production site for aerosol cans. Tubex positions itself around five 'success factors Made by TUBEX': quality, design, sustainability, innovation and know-how. The company emphasises exclusive supply chains for raw materials, an in-house design team and tool-making capability, and the development of what it calls the world's most environmentally friendly aerosol can, using lightweight construction and a high proportion of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material. Its customer base spans the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and construction-materials industries, and it states that roughly 600 million aerosol cans leave its lines every year. The group operates production plants in Germany (Rangendingen, Wasungen and Ludwigsburg), Austria (Wolfsberg), Slovakia (Žarnovica), Russia (Uljanowka) and China (Jiangmen, Guangdong province), supported by sales offices in Spain, France and Poland. A sister company within the group, CTA GmbH in Ludwigsburg (with a further site in Bietigheim-Bissingen), develops, manufactures, fills and packages chemical-technical products such as industrial greases, silicones, adhesives and benzines. The company presents itself as part of a family business ecosystem that also touches the raw-materials, green-energy, chemicals, glass and construction sectors. Because Tubex is privately held and owner-managed, it does not publish the quarterly reporting of a listed corporation; its public profile rests on its role as a specialist supplier to global brand owners who need decorated, high-quality metal packaging. Its identity in this dossier is the commercial packaging group, not any unrelated namesake.

History

Tubex's corporate history is rooted in Rangendingen in the Zollernalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, which the company itself describes as the 'Keimzelle und Stammhaus' — the cradle and original home — of the international Tubex corporate group. From this Swabian base the firm grew into a specialist manufacturer of metal packaging, above all the aluminium monobloc aerosol can: a seamless, one-piece container formed from a single slug of aluminium, which has become the standard format for deodorants, hairsprays, pharmaceutical sprays and technical/construction aerosols. Over the decades the group expanded both its product range and its geographic footprint. Today the corporate parent is Tubex Packaging GmbH, and the group operates production plants in Germany at Rangendingen, Wasungen and Ludwigsburg; in Austria at Wolfsberg; in Slovakia at Žarnovica; in Russia at Uljanowka; and in China at Jiangmen in Guangdong province. Sales offices in Spain, France and Poland serve customers across Europe. The company states that around 600 million aerosol cans are produced each year, and it markets its output under the banner of five 'success factors Made by TUBEX': quality, design, sustainability, innovation and know-how. A related business within the group, CTA GmbH in Ludwigsburg (with a further site in Bietigheim-Bissingen), extends the group's activities into chemical-technical products — industrial greases, silicones, adhesives and benzines — which it develops, manufactures, fills and packages. This vertical integration means Tubex can supply not only the empty decorated can but also related filling and packaging services for technical products. Tubex remains a family-owned, owner-managed business. Its self-description emphasises long-standing customer relationships, numerous awards for pioneering innovations, and a workforce mixing newcomers, experienced experts, inventors, designers and pragmatists. The company also presents itself as part of a broader family-business ecosystem active in the packaging industry, raw-materials extraction, green-energy generation, and the chemicals, glass and construction sectors. Because it is privately held, detailed financial and ownership data are not publicly reported, and the group's visibility rests on its role as a specialist supplier to global consumer and industrial brand owners.
