In the summer of 1950 Alfred Schwarz introduced the innovative ASLAN Mipofolie – a highly flexible and writable protection film for geographical maps – and laid the foundation for 65 years of ASLAN, “expertise in self-adhesive films”. In the last 65 years the private and family owned company ASLAN, Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG has grown steadily and sells its products world-wide. Today the company is run in the third generation by Oliver Schwarz.

As a specialist in self-adhesive films, ASLAN develops, produces and promotes high quality branded products with the quality assurance of being ''made in Germany''. As well as supplying a large product range into numerous industries, ASLAN offers tailor-made solutions for individual applications. In celebration of their 65th anniversary and in conjunction with the FESPA Cologne 2015, ASLAN, is opening its doors. In the week from May 18th – 22nd factory tours will be held daily at the premises in Overath. A shuttle service will be operating from the Cologne Trade Fair to ASLAN.
