About Schleswig-Holstein

Schleswig-Holstein may be Germany’s northernmost state but it’s still in the middle of Europe.

And it offers swift access to German and global markets via cosmopolitan Hamburg next door. Schleswig-Holstein is home to successful small- and mid-sized companies. The state has a strong innovation drive and a high quality of life. Key future-oriented industries include: Foods, renewable energies, medical technology and health care, I&K, logistics, maritime business, engineering and tourism.

Made in Lübeck: Exceptional performance – thanks to unique production

KMD Plastifizierungstechnik GmbH develops and manufactures high-quality machinery, better known as extruders, for the production of thermoplastic molded parts, as well as laboratory systems for spinning synthetic fibers and non-wovens. KMD was founded in 2011 in Dusseldorf with an R&D department but no production. The headquarters was moved to Lübeck in 2019 and production was added. WTSH helped KMD an appropriate production site and supported the creation of a company that researches, develops and produces and is truly based in the north. Owner Kellen Duan was also able to realize a dream of living and working next to the ocean.
