History
Technology
The parent plant in Geismar represents the entire value creation chain of our products
- foil production in extrusion and co-extrusion systems in a lab scale of up to 2450 mm wide
- plate production on deep-drawing lamination systems
- surface coating and surface finishing on stamping systems and bi-laminate extruders
- processing and fabrication of our plates as prefabricated parts using cutting, molding and joining processes in individual systems and highly-automated production lines
The Leinefelde plant is the backbone of our material treatment and material supply systems
- recyclable materials treatment in crushing and pelleting systems
- compounding and granulate production in double-worm extruders
- strict controls of our raw materials and finished granulates in our materials lab.
We produce the products for our North American customers directly in our plant in Greenville, South Carolina.

- fabrication of plates as per customer requirements using cutting and joining systems
- application consultation and prototype production on site
The plant in Bremen produces interior molded parts from textile laminates for automobile interiors
- precise, contoured form with deep-drawing systems and rear foam
- fabrication and finished products with water jet cutting, high-frequency welding systems and equipping stations
Quality management
Quality in a nutshell
…we achieve this via active, cross-department cooperation, from development to logistics. Our employees treat each other respectfully and are highly motivated to implement our high quality requirements.
Another factor for our high product quality is the cooperative work with all of our business partners. Together with our suppliers, we continue to further optimize our products. Our customers’ future expectations of our products and innovations are our focus.
