history
The company's roots lie in the "Franz Wulf & Co Plasticwarenfabrik" founded by Franz Wulf on April 1, 1949 in Greven near Münster . This started production in 1953. The first product from Franz Wulf & Co. Plasticwarenfabrik was a plastic butterfly that was used as a drip catcher for coffee pots. In addition to the drip catchers for coffee pots, the company also manufactured hand-sewn piping bags with metal spouts and dough wheels in the early 1950s .
On October 1, 1956, the company moved to larger premises in Emsdetten and added items for garden and flower care to its range.
In 1958 "EMSA Plastic" was registered as a trademark.
On December 29, 1964 the name was changed to Emsa-Werk ; the naming was based on the region around Emsdetten and the Ems flowing through it .
In the 1960s and 1970s, production was expanded to include planters, table and kitchen series and food storage containers. In 1971 the company logo - white lettering on minuscules on a red dot - was introduced, which is still used as a trademark today.
From 1982 the Emsa factory started producing plastic vacuum jugs. Today these mark one of the company's largest business areas. With the Quick-Tip vacuum jug, the second generation of plastic vacuum jugs followed in 1995.
In 2004 the first food storage container with the so-called clip-lid technology was brought onto the market. From 2011, the seal of the food storage containers was injected directly into the lid. As part of a research project on the shelf life of food, experts from the Institute for Sustainable Nutrition and Food Economics (iSuN) at the Münster University of Applied Sciences were able to scientifically prove that different foods can be kept fresh longer in storage containers with an injected seal than in storage containers with a loose seal.
The garden range was expanded in 2008 to include handmade fiberglass planters and fountains , which have since been sold under the Esteras brand. In 2009 the company celebrated its 60th anniversary.
Between 2008 and 2012, Emsa invested a double-digit million amount in new manufacturing processes at the Emsdetten location, among other things for the further development of products with clip lid technology.
Awards
Emsa products have repeatedly received the Red Dot Award in the “Product Design” category. In addition, after 2014 and 2015, Emsa GmbH was awarded the Top 100 Innovation Prize for its product development for the third time in a row .
