The heart of High-Performance Plastics – more than just data sheets

The High-Performance Plastics Division is a global leader in the manufacturing and processing of thermoplastic and composite materials. Over 80 years ago, Röchling acquired its first plastics company. Since then, this material has been an integral part of the Company’s history.

On the basis of competent advice, closeness to the market, and a clear commitment to technological progress, thermoplastic and composite materials offer a customized solution for nearly all areas of the investment goods industry. The High-Performance Plastics Division is active worldwide in various business areas. 

Precisely-Fitting Solutions for All Sectors

Our products are used in the most diverse sectors. For example, they are used in the food industry as cutting mats, as storage containers for chemical media or process containers in chemical apparatus and tank building, as air ducting in semi-conductor and clean room technology, or even as sliding and conveyor components for the packaging and beverage industry. Medical technology offers multiple potential applications for thermoplastic and composite materials such as MRI examination tables or test implants. Whether used for large-volume insulation components for transformer or generator construction, as tank bearing pads for the transport of liquid gases, or as interior and exterior panels in commuter trains: plastics are a dynamic market of the future.

Rapid innovation cycles and increasing customer demands with respect to specific product features and precision fabrication characterize the workday in the High-Performance Plastics Division. The division covers the broad spectrum of products and the corresponding manufacturing processes via the intensive transfer of expertise between individual companies. As a network of specialized companies, the High-Performance Plastics Division encompasses all necessary knowledge about plastics today and can ensure the most diverse industrial customers and distributors professional, individualized advice. Thus, the Röchling Group benefits to the fullest extent from positive trends in the plastics industry and secures its position as a technology leader for thermoplastic and composite materials for the future as well.  

The High-Performance Plastics Division encompasses two business segments, which ideally complement each other in the market via their product structure. The Röchling Engineering Plastics Group based in Haren and Röchling Sustaplast Group headquartered in Lahnstein manufacture semi-finished products, near net shaped casted parts, machine finished components, and profiles.
