Casings

For more than 80 years, Kalle has been producing casings for processed meat products.

It started in 1929 with the first seamless cellulose tube – made from renewable raw materials – which, in an almost unchanged form, is still successful worldwide as the “Nalo” casing today. “Nalo” comes from “nahtlos”, the German word for “seamless”.

In 1938, the cellulose-fibrous casing was introduced; here, viscose was combined with an extremely moisture and tear-resistant paper, underlining the casing`s stability and diameter consistency.

In the 1990`s, polymer casings in particular were developed, which attract attention by their high quality print designs and high food safety characteristics.

For the time being, the trend is moving towards casings with additional functions, the new Value Adding Casings.
