A success story in 14 numbers

	It was on 6th February 1956, half a century ago now, that our founder, Hans Frei, began manufacturing plastic products in the garage at his parents' home. 50 years on, these humble beginnings still cause surprise and admiration. Under the slogan "On the trail of PLASTON", we are aiming to focus on various aspects of his pioneering work and take a look at both the past and the future of the PLASTON group.
