Plastic & Rubber Processing and Laboratory
Plastic and rubber processing technology and quality control has been one of our core competences for decades. Plastic waste has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time – and we are fully engaged with this issue. Improvements require a fundamental change in thinking about how plastics are made, used, and discarded. Challenges are best overcome by facing them, turning them into new opportunities.
We work closely with leading European and Asian manufacturers, providing strong support both locally and from Europe through dedicated, experienced sales and service staff in our various markets.
The core competence of our business partner Feddem is the development, design and construction of extrusion and compounding lines for the production of high-quality plastic compounds and masterbatches used in plastic goods manufacturing, the chemical industry, and mechanical engineering.
FET designs, develops and manufactures extrusion equipment for a wide range of high value textile material applications in the global marketplace. The company has inhouse yarn and fibre engineering knowhow for designing extrusion equipment, which will allow their customers to consistently produce fibres of the highest quality. Typical applications for extruded yarn innovation:
- Biomedical materials, such as resorbable polymers for use in medical devices
- Specialized novel fibres from exotic and difficult-to-process polymers
- Sustainable polymers, biodegradable and composting materials
- Melt-spun fibres and yarns and textiles for a wide range of composites
- Functional textile materials, provided by polymer formulation or additives
FET has also considerable experience in the development of specialist sustainable polymers that have either eco-friendly end-of-life cycle or have been sourced from renewable resources.
