History of the company

Korff AG can look back on an impressive company history characterised by continuous growth, strategic acquisitions and technological innovations. Since its foundation in 1984 by Dieter H. Korff in Thun, Korff AG has developed from a small sales office into a major player in the manufacture and distribution of specialised film products.

With important milestones such as the relocation of the company headquarters to Oberbipp, the introduction of modern production technologies and expansion into international markets, Korff AG has steadily increased its production capacity and turnover. Acquisitions of companies and business areas have expanded the product portfolio and strengthened the market position.

Under the leadership of the Erb family, who have managed the company since 2004, Korff AG continues on its successful course and remains a reliable partner for innovative film solutions in Europe.
