Pioneers with the Spirit of Invention

Wex have been creating product solutions from recycled plastic for more than 35 years. Whether they are lightweight export pallets, robust logistics pallets, or our EcoProducts, we are making plastics fit a wide range of new tasks. We have taken a pioneering role in processing mixed plastics, which are difficult to recycle. We were among the first to produce lightweight plastic pallets for worldwide product transportation. And we were one of the first companies in the industry to turn to recycled plastic to manufacture new products. We obtain the basic materials for intelligent, economical, and reliable products from industrial production scraps, packaging waste from private households, and worn out plastic products. In this way, we actively protect the environment – and make our customers’ work easier.

Together at Eye Level

We run a company that is intelligent, passionate, and responsible – thanks to our employees. That's why our work environment is characterized by mutual trust and respect. We foster an entrepreneurial spirit and have fun every day. We meet people at eye level and we don't condemn mistakes – we see them as an opportunity to do better next time.

As a company, we are undergoing healthy growth and thinking long-term and we are a reliable, secure employer. We offer employee benefits and flexible working hours and we support our employees’ continuing education. They have been making CABKA what it is today for 30 years. We are proud of them – and we do everything we can to make them proud of CABKA.

Making Connections

We are an active part of the environment in which we live and work. Our purview goes far beyond our company, our offices, and our factories. We have a responsibility and we know it: Our social engagement opens doors, bringing people together regardless of their age, social background, and nationality. We are making connections that last.

Football without Borders on the Fairplay Soccer Tour

Together with the Peres Center for Peace, we organized a week-long trip to Germany and joint participation in the Fairplay Soccer Tour for eight children from Palestine and Israel. They came in at a respectable fourth place, had loads of great experiences, and returned home as friends.

Anne's Tree; Supporting Remembrance against Forgetting

There are twelve young chestnut trees growing at our facility in Weira. All of them were grown from cuttings from the horse-chestnut tree that Anne Frank described in her diary as a connection to the outside world, a sign of life and the changing seasons, and a source of hope and comfort.

Big and Small Together in the Knau Educational Center

We are supporting the construction of an education center in the German town of Knau, Thuringia. Kindergarten, primary school, daycare center, and adult education will all find a home there. That way the small can learn from the big – and the big from the small.

Connecting through Music: The Young Philharmonic Orchestra Jerusalem Weimar

It is with great joy that we support the Young Philharmonic Orchestra Jerusalem Weimar, an orchestra made up of young Israeli and German musicians. They study at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Weimar. They play together on special occasions – such as the German President's Charity Concert.

Art Makes Us Strong: The Kunstfest-Zuschauerakademie

We sponsor the Mein Kunstfest initiative as part of the Arts Festival in Weimar, an academy that offers its workshops and creative labs to children, adolescents, and adults. With help from drama teachers, participants research, write, and act intensively – and then present their results at a major closing party.

Today's CABKA has its roots in the Recover System Recycling company, founded in 1993. The company grew quickly and developed from a recycling company into a successful manufacturer of technical plastic products. By acquiring further companies, the enterprise incorporated more than 30 years of experience. Since 2006, the name of the company has been CABKA.
