About us
We are a family business with more than 30 years of experience in the plastics industry.
More than just a distributor
We don’t like to call ourselves a raw materials distributor. We are professional partners for polymer raw materials and plastic additives, providing outstanding technical service when new materials are introduced into production.
Our sister company 1.PLASTCOMPANY specialises in supplying, installing and servicing machines and technology for plastics processing and recycling. This offering and our territorial coverage make us a unique partner for plastics.
Thanks to our 30 years of experience, we offer solutions to almost every challenge in the plastics industry. We are not a corporation. We are a family business where humanity and expertise come first. We know machines as well as raw materials. Plastics, their processing and recycling have been passed down from generation to generation in our company since 1962.
Our partners can always rely on us. We deliver full-truck and pallet quantities, either from our warehouses in CZ, SK and PL or directly from major global producers.
Our advantages are short delivery times and favourable prices thanks to high-volume purchasing. We are active in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Austria and Romania. We are always here for you!
