Whatever holds the feet starts in the head. According to this motto Rhenoflex designs, manufactures and distributes innovative shoe components since 1952. It focuses on thermoplastic materials for toe-, side and counterpart reinforcements as well as insoles for particular applications. Wearing comfort, stability and reliability are the basics for our quality aim and surely we keep the pace with the latest fashion trends. Our leading position in the industry is largely merited by our engineers and scientists in the well-known Rhenoflex Research Laboratories. The latest innovation was Rx 5000, an absolutely unique product, which combines efficiency with environmental impacts for the first time. Finally it matters what the core of the shoe has in its frame.

For decades now Rhenoflex is active in other industries besides the classic shoe business as well. With our long-term experiences using components we could manage good success within textile coatings and some low melting adhesives. In the centre of all developments are again the Rhenoflex Research Laboratories, where today every company can get benefit out of their know-how and technical equipment.

Textiles like fabrics or non-woven can be used today as universal as flexible plastics. To adapt their properties the following treatments are possible:

• Coating or impregnation with liquid dispersions
• Powder coating
• Coatings with hot-melting adhesives
• Extrusion and extrusion coatings
• Laminations

The products - which are being sold today in more than 80 countries - are manufactured by Rhenoflex, a Business Unit of BK Giulini GmbH in Ludwigshafen, Germany, with partners, agencies and dealers in all major shoe centres worldwide. This gives you a reliable foothold - wherever you go to.
