As of May 10, 2025, the Industrieweg Rheintal is officially open – and PLASTON is proud to be one of more than 20 featured companies on this unique trail. Stretching 40 kilometers with 23 information boards, the trail brings to life the transformation of the Rheintal from a floodplain to one of Europe’s most export-oriented regions – shaped by innovation, hard work, and industrial heritage.
Station 12 in Heerbrugg – PLASTON’s story
Our story is told on board number 12 in Heerbrugg, highlighting PLASTON as one of the pioneering companies of the region. From our founding almost 70 years ago to today’s advanced case systems and technical plastic parts, the board showcases how our innovations have contributed to regional growth and global reach.
A meaningful launch celebration
The opening ceremony took place in Marbach, with guests from politics, business, and society. Thanks to the support of sponsors, foundations, and committed companies like PLASTON, the Industrieweg Rheintal became a reality. As a proud partner, we support the vision of making industrial history accessible – and showing the power of regional innovation.
