Development of our product range

In the first decades there were mostly produced products for daily needs. Industrial products were added to the product range little by little.

At the beginning of the 1990s the product range transferred to the automotive industry additionally.

Rubber compounds

Up to 1,000 tons of rubber compounds are used for the production of rubber and rubber metal parts in our company per year.

Types of elastomer:

  • NR, BR, SBR, EPDM, Silicone (HTV), IR, CSM, ECO, AEM and appropriate copolymers
  • Shore hardnesses from 35 ShA to 95 ShA

From the idea to the finished part, from the drawing to the tool, from the compound to the surface finish
