State-of-the-art production
Our products are manufactured on state-of-the-art production facilities at our parent plant at Neunkirchen in Germany's Siegerland region and at Ledec nad Sazavou in the Czech Republic.

In Neunkirchen SCHÄFER manufactures stainless steel containers, fully or partially coated with polyurethane, which are used by drinks producers for beer, wine and soft drinks all over the world. Since 1978, SCHÄFER in Neunkirchen has been constantly setting standards with innovative product ideas for re-useable beverage containers.
In addition, coated stainless steel KEGs for use in industrial applications are produced here, too.

At the Ledec nad Sazavou production plant in the Czech Republic, SCHÄFER has been producing the classical stainless steel KEGs since 1995.
In 2002, after the takeover of the Franke Blefa company's IBC division, production of Intermediate Bulk Containers was also started here.
The highly positive development and rapid growth of this sector soon meant production capacity had to be extended. The construction of the new production facility in 2004 created the conditions for further growth.
