Did you know that, in the context of our ongoing Safety Month, Kautex is continuously strengthening how safety is integrated into daily operations across all locations?

🔹Advanced machine safety systems
Across our production environments, equipment is designed with integrated safety features such as automated shut-offs, physical guarding, and sensor-based controls that help prevent incidents before they occur.

🔹Ergonomic workplace solutions
Workstations in both plants and offices are continuously optimized to reduce physical strain, supporting long-term health and minimizing the risk of injury during daily tasks.

🔹Digital quality controls supporting safety
Automated quality and process control systems help ensure stable and consistent production conditions, reducing the likelihood of defects or disruptions that could pose safety risks.

🔹Structured and organized work environments
From clearly defined material flows to visual management on the shopfloor, well-organized workplaces help reduce hazards, improve visibility, and support safe movement throughout operations.

By combining engineered safety features, ergonomic design, and structured processes, Kautex creates environments where safety is built into every detail of daily work.

Because at Kautex, safety is not only a priority, it is part of how we design, operate, and improve every day.

Did you know that in three months, the first concrete obligations under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will start to apply, and Kautex is already helping customers get ready?

As of August 12, 2026, companies placing packaging on the European market must meet new requirements, including compliance with substance limits (such as PFAS and heavy metals), providing an EU Declaration of Conformity, and ensuring transparency along the entire supply chain.

At Kautex, we proactively support our customers in fulfilling their responsibilities as packaging manufacturers. We provide on-demand product information ahead of the deadline to ensure readiness from day one, and we are actively aligning our development activities with upcoming requirements, such as recyclability, recycled content, labeling, and reduced empty space, which will be introduced step by step through 2028 and 2030.

This way, we help our partners stay compliant, prepared, and ahead in the transition toward a circular economy.

Did you know that safety at Kautex goes far beyond compliance, it is a core part of how we work every day?

Each June, we join Textron businesses worldwide in recognizing Safety Month, an initiative focused on strengthening safety awareness and promoting safe behaviors across all operations. This year’s theme, “Together, Choosing a Safer Future,” reinforces that creating a safe workplace depends on the choices we make, the risks we recognize, and how we look out for one another.

Across our global locations, safety plays a critical role in both plant and office environments, from ensuring safe production processes to maintaining healthy, secure workplaces for all employees.

To continuously improve safety, Kautex drives a range of initiatives globally, including:

• Strengthening safety culture through awareness campaigns, training, and leadership engagement
• Encouraging employees to actively identify risks and take ownership of safe behaviors
• Providing resources and learning opportunities focused on key safety topics throughout the month

These actions are supported by interactive activities such as employee surveys, safety campaigns, and engagement initiatives that encourage teams to reflect on what safety means to them and how they can contribute.

At Kautex, safety is not just a monthly focus, it is a daily commitment to protecting our people and ensuring that everyone goes home safely.

Did you know that sustainability at Kautex also includes how we manage water resources at our plants?

At our PUEBLA and SILAO locations, rainwater harvesting systems have been introduced to support more sustainable water usage in daily operations. By capturing and reusing rainwater on-site, these systems help reduce reliance on external water sources.
The impact is measurable: these initiatives have already enabled a reduction of approximately 25% per site in water withdrawal from third-party suppliers, contributing to greater resource efficiency and operational resilience.

This is one example of how Kautex translates sustainability goals into tangible, site-level actions, optimizing resource use while supporting long-term environmental performance.

100,000 miles. Real-world conditions. One Pentatonic battery enclosure.

We retrofitted a real test vehicle with our Pentatonic battery enclosure solution and completed 100,000 miles of real-world driving across varying temperatures and terrains to evaluate performance under practical operating conditions.

More insights and results will follow.

With the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introducing a minimum requirement for 35% post-consumer recyclate (PCR) in many packaging applications from 2030, flexibility in material concepts becomes key. Our standard recycled content options of 35%, 50%, and up to 100% PCR enables application-specific solutions that balance regulatory compliance, product safety, and sustainability performance.

Certified according to ISO 14021, the declared PCR content of our products is independently verified, ensuring credible and transparent sustainability communication.

This is how we combine regulatory readiness, verified transparency, and application-specific design, towards more sustainable packaging solutions.

At Kautex, sustainability improvements often come from smart technical upgrades. At our CWC site, two compressors are planned to be converted from water cooled to air cooled systems in June, an operational change expected to deliver a measurable impact once implemented.

Based on current projections, this optimization is expected to reduce water consumption by around 38 million liters, contributing to an anticipated 8% reduction in total Kautex water withdrawal, based on the 2025 baseline.

It’s a strong example of how targeted infrastructure decisions can help conserve resources, strengthen efficiency, and support our broader sustainability goals, one system upgrade at a time.
