HK Cosmetic Packaging GmbH from Coburg-Creidlitz and Arburg have been working together closely and trustingly since the purchase of the first Allrounder in 1975. This successful 50-year cooperation was celebrated on October 22, 2025 with the handover of the 150th Allrounder at the Arburg headquarters in Lossburg. The anniversary machine, a hydraulic Allrounder 720 S, will be used for the production of cream pots in the future.

HK Cosmetic Packaging specializes in plastic packaging for international customers, mainly from the cosmetics industry. The company has more than 110 years of experience and operates a modern injection molding production facility, among other things.

Arburg and HK Cosmetic Packaging: Close cooperation for 50 years

HK Cosmetic Packaging is an expert in injection molding, thermoset pressing, injection blow molding, screen printing and hot foil stamping. In addition to customer-specific packaging solutions, the product portfolio includes an extensive standard range of thin and double-walled tins, brilliant thick-walled jars, individual sticks and roll-ons as well as matching closure options.

For 50 years, the company has relied exclusively on Arburg machines for injection molding. Managing Director Christian Abicht summarizes the reasons for the successful cooperation:

"What we value most about the Allrounders is their high reliability and durability. The processes are stable, which is crucial for our production. The ability to customize the machines to our requirements is also a big plus."

Automated injection molding production

HK Cosmetic Packaging currently operates around 85 Allrounders in the clamping force range from 250 to 3,200 kN. Many systems are equipped with Multilift linear robotic systems for automated series production. Together with Arburg, a complex turnkey system for the fully automated production of cosmetic jars with lids was also developed and put into operation.

The latest hydraulic Allrounder 720 S with a clamping force of 3,200 kN and a size 1,300 injection unit is also automated with a Multilift. In future, the anniversary machine will produce thick-walled PET cream jars with wall thicknesses of up to ten millimeters.

To celebrate the double anniversary - 50 years of cooperation and the 150th Allrounder - a large delegation from HK Cosmetic Packaging traveled to Lossburg. It included Managing Director Christian Abicht, Production Manager Stefan Mayer, Design Manager Hamdi Sevinc, Injection Molding Department Manager Matthias Beck, his deputy Hubertus Nützel and Alexander Wittig, Head of Maintenance.

Arburg's Managing Director Sales Tobias Baur, Area Sales Manager Andreas Koch, Sales Consultant Josef Öhrig and Bernd Schmid, Head of Sales Germany and Austria, took part in the anniversary event.
