PRESS REPORT –
Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, November 2025 – groku Kunststoffe GmbH, one of the leading suppliers of plastic packaging, has acquired a production site in England.
The plant is currently being extensively renovated and prepared for groku production standards. Production is scheduled to start in January 2026.

Preparations are currently in full swing: the infrastructure is being created, production units are being set up, logistics are being expanded and new employees are undergoing intensive training. In future, buckets and lids are to be produced at the new site using the injection molding process, primarily for the British market.

“The investment in the UK site is an important step in our international growth strategy. We want to supply our local customers even more efficiently and sustainably. The decisive factor for us is that we can now offer existing and new customers the well-known groku quality standard directly on site. We therefore work strictly according to our proven specifications and use our more than 55 years of experience in the production of plastic packaging,” explains Managing Director Henrik Großekämper.

groku – the better bucket.

A detailed report will follow in the new year.

Preparation of the floor

With the successful switch to SAP S/4HANA, groku is sending a clear signal for the digital future. The modern ERP system enables more efficient processes, transparent data structures and well-founded decisions in real time.
A significant step and a course set for further company growth.


In the current interview “”This is how success almost ended my life”” on GRIP – Das Motormagazin, Hamid Mossadegh tells us how he earned most of his driving license with a vacation job at groku. Today, he is a successful entrepreneur and CEO – and a real example for us of how far hard work, curiosity and determination can take you.
