Plastoplan Plastics and Solutions
Plastoplan specializes in the distribution of high-quality technical plastic granulates. We not only supply first-class raw materials but also offer comprehensive services – from on-site technical support to efficient warehousing and logistics assistance.
In plastics engineering, innovative ideas often present numerous challenges. We leverage our expertise to guide you and assist in answering critical questions:
Which polymer meets all specific requirements?
Which standards and guidelines must be observed?
Which factors cause avoidable costs?
Which processing method is best suited for the application?
Together with our clients, we develop the ideal combination of functionality and economic efficiency. Our qualified plastics specialists meticulously analyze your requirements to ensure that the selected polymer or compound reliably fulfills the specified properties.
Our professional approach to the selection, distribution, and development of plastic granulates has proven successful across numerous industries. These include the automotive and construction sectors, the electrical and electronics industry, as well as medical technology and the consumer goods industry.
As a member of the family-owned Hromatka Group, Plastoplan Plastics is integrated into one of the leading distribution networks in the European plastics market, boasting over 40 warehouses across Europe.
The selection of the correct material is critical for success. Contact us at the outset of your product development and challenge us – we will present you with the optimal plastic solution.
As your raw material supplier, we support you from the initial concept to the finished product. Additionally, our sister company Impetus Engineering – a highly specialized engineering firm for product development – can provide further assistance as needed.
Your product is based on specific technical requirements. To ensure these can be implemented with appropriate processing technologies, such as injection molding, extrusion, or 3D printing, optimal design of part and tool geometry is crucial. We are pleased to support you in this regard with our expertise and our network of toolmakers and processors.
Our multifunctional plastics enable the realization of multiple functions in a single processing step. Electrically or thermally conductive materials, as well as specially modified compounds, allow for reducing the number of components in systems, minimizing part size, and achieving cost savings.
We provide comprehensive consultation on the processing conditions of our raw materials. We also support you with our expertise in processes such as pre-drying, post-treatment, quality control, and packaging.
The topic of recycling is among the most complex areas in the plastics sector. We support you in designing components for recyclability, achieving CO2 savings through the use of mechanically or chemically recycled raw materials, and in the reprocessing of rejected parts.
For complex and cost-intensive projects, it is advisable to verify feasibility and implementation details through prototype manufacturing. Various approaches are available for this purpose, ranging from modeling and 3D printing to dedicated prototype tooling. We would be pleased to present the suitable methods to you and support your implementation with our network.
Thanks to SAX Polymers, our integrated compounding company within the group, we can develop customized plastic compounds tailored precisely to your requirements. Base polymers are refined with special additives, fillers, or reinforcing agents, as well as colorants, to precisely meet your specifications.
For over half a century, we have consistently focused on the distribution of plastic granules.
We operate our own vehicle fleet and a Europe-wide warehouse network with over 40 locations. Four of these are conveniently located in Austria: Vienna, Hirm, Hornstein, and Hohenems.
Our proven warehouse logistics ensure short delivery times and high supply reliability for your seamless production planning.
At our Vienna location, we can utilize the excellently equipped technical center of our sister company SAX Polymers for development support, material analyses, color, and quality controls. This added value is highly appreciated by our customers. Furthermore, this enables us to promptly analyze defect patterns and professionally conduct degradation controls.
Upon request, we share our plastics expertise through practical training sessions. These are practical, concise, and precisely tailored to your requirements.
