What We Do
We get the very best out of your plastic powders

You can’t be a master of all trades, but we are genuine experts in our particular field. That’s why we have been the go-to specialists for contract grinding, finishing and optimization of plastics since 1978. We research and develop processes not because they are feasible, but because they bring tangible customer benefits.

Our core values: quality, flexibility, innovation and service
Our vision: “Always the right powder for you!”

As a long-term systems partner, innovation driver and problem solver, we are involved in our customers’ processes from the outset, developing and manufacturing plastic powders of the highest quality, with a focus on pharmaceuticals/medical technology, 3D printing/AM and technical grinding.

Our customers are free to choose: besides pure grinding, we also supply performance powders with properties that offer real added value. They also guarantee smooth processes with maximum efficiency thanks to consistent batch-to-batch quality – even on an industrial scale – enabling our customers to enter new markets or expand existing ones.

Our customer centricity
and the benefits it brings

Our formula for customer success = co-working & consulting + transparency. In other words, we work closely with our customers to develop materials in real time, connect them with alternative raw material suppliers and share our R&D expertise on production processes, additives and powder handling – also in collaboration with universities. We also advise customers on process, material and additive screenings, increase their efficiency and cost-effectiveness and devise innovative solutions. Finally, our transparent R&D reports guarantee scale-up at any time, i.e. reproducibility in any quantity, from trial grinding by the gram to industrial quantities. The result:

  • Purity
  • Adherence to specifications
  • Series maturity
  • Standards
  • Reproducibility
  • Material
  • Waste avoidance
  • CO2 savings (time, energy, distance)
  • Powder design
  • Innovation
  • Logistics
  • Packaging
  • Training
