Koziol is a famous German company which specializes in designer plastic products for the household.  I recently visited their  headquarters in Odenwald, Germany, and am doing a series of posts about what I saw.  This is the third… if you missed the previous ones click here: Part1 and Part2.

In this post I’ll take you around the production hall where all the plastic magic happens.

The basis of almost everything Koziol produces is recyclable plastic, stored and used in the form of granulates which come in all kind of different colors:

koziol-colors

These colorful granulates will be added to the basic (usually white, or clear plastic granulates) material:

Now let’s head over to the production hall:

In the picture above you see the basic white granulate which is mixed with the colored ones, in the next picture:

To produce violet colored cups, for example:

Every plastic ejection machine has sample products so the worker can see how the final item will look like:

Here are some more random images from the production process of Koziol’s fantastic plastic items:
