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.
