50 million tubes to meet the growing demand for mustard
Händlmaier doubles production capacity with ultra-modern tube plant and secures growth in the national and international mustard market

With a targeted investment of around five million euros, Händlmaier is sending a clear signal for growth and securing its location: the company has put a state-of-the-art tube filling line into operation at its headquarters in Regensburg. In future, up to 50 million mustard tubes per year will be able to roll off the production line in Regensburg. With this investment, Händlmaier is significantly expanding its production capacities and at the same time strengthening its competitiveness in an increasingly dynamic national and international market environment.
50 million tubes for the growing demand for mustard
After an installation phase of around four weeks, state-of-the-art filling technology is now available, which will significantly increase production output. This increases the annual filling capacity to around 50 million mustard tubes - a doubling of the previous annual volume of around 25 million tubes.
State-of-the-art technology meets sustainable tube production
The new tube line from Swedish manufacturer Norden Machinery is fully automated and operates to the highest technological standards. In addition to a higher filling speed, it enables more precise and efficient process control, which has a positive effect on product quality, production reliability and order flexibility.
Sustainability aspects were also at the heart of the investment. The new system requires around 30 percent less energy than comparable older systems and is operated exclusively with 100 percent green electricity, which comes, among other things, from the company's own photovoltaic system that was built at the site in 2025. Händlmaier is also changing important materials: Instead of polystyrene bases, solutions made of cast fiber will be used in the future. This paper-based, fiber-reinforced mono-material improves the recyclability of the tubes and at the same time reduces the use of plastics that are difficult to recycle.
