Until the beginning of the new millennium, Häcker had produced more than 3,000 tons of gelatine a year on facilities of more than four hectares. The migration of the leather industry, the supplier of the raw material for gelatine production, and the ever stricter environmental restrictions caused the company to cease its gelatine production and alter its business strategy. Gelatine production has been replaced by the acquisition and refining of granulated gelatine used in the production of protein adhesives. Fritz Häcker’s know-how of gelatine production and its processing into an adhesive is unrivalled all over the world.
Sustainability and versatility are the special strengths of Fritz-Häcker-products. They rank among the world’s most future-orientated natural products. “We are perfectly set for future growth”, managing director Ralf J. Müller proudly states.
