History

TUB-EX ApS is a family owned production company specializing in tubular film extrusion.
The company was founded in 1984 by Linda and Peter Schou at an old dairy in the town Morild in the northern part of Jutland.

In 1987 the productions facilities were expanded by 30%, but as the company keept growing and new products were developed, it became necessary to find new facilities to accommodate the expanding production.

In 1991 Tub-Ex moved into brand new production and administration facilities in Taars – only a few kilometers away from Morild.

In 1995 Tub-ex was awarded the “Den Gyldne Bæver” (The Golden Beaver) - a work environment award – by the Association of Occupational Health Service in Denmark.

In 2003 we had to expand our productions facilities again to comply with the growing market demands for our products.
