A core priority for owner and CEO Dr. Holger Loclair is to maintain a balance between economic, environmental, and social values at all times. ORAFOL is aware of its responsibilities and makes business decisions in a way that conserves resources, protects the climate, supports our employees, and secures the company’s long-term success through investment.
Roadmap 2030 – Shaping the Future
The “ORAFOL Roadmap 2030 – Shaping the Future” encompasses ORAFOL’s global expansion projects. The roadmap is based on an investment initiative of 235 million euros for the period 2026–2030 at the headquarters, as well as additional global expansion projects in the sales regions of Europe, North and South America, and Asia-Pacific. In doing so, ORAFOL, as a technology company, underscores its role as a growth engine. At the same time, the Roadmap reflects the need to continuously invest in newly developed sustainable technologies to secure and expand international competitiveness.
“The ORAFOL Roadmap 2030, with its investment initiative, reflects my optimism and is a commitment to our home base in Germany. At the same time, we have built up the strength to consistently pursue our growth globally through investments. Both are crucial to our goal of remaining one of the market leaders.”
