Germany also hosts Arburg (Lossburg — world-class injection moulding machines) and KraussMaffei (Munich — injection moulding, extrusion, and reaction processing machinery).
German engineering plastics are specified globally for demanding applications where commodity plastics are inadequate: PEEK (Evonik Vestakeep) for aerospace, medical implant, and semiconductor applications; PA 12 (Evonik Vestamid) for fuel lines and pneumatic tubing; TPU (Covestro Desmopan) for cable jacketing and flexible components; polycarbonate (Covestro Makrolon) for optical, safety, and electronic applications. REACH compliance documentation, including SDS, polymer exemption status, and SVHC declarations, is fully provided. ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certification is held by German plastic manufacturers targeting automotive supply chains.
Towobo connects plastic buyers with verified German suppliers — with polymer type, grade, processing method, and certifications displayed on each profile.

What engineering plastics does Germany specialise in at wholesale?
Germany leads in premium engineering plastics: PEEK (polyetheretherketone — Evonik Vestakeep; world's leading PEEK producer; ultra-high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and strength for aerospace, medical, and semiconductor applications); PA 12 (nylon 12 — Evonik Vestamid; superior chemical resistance and flexibility for fuel systems and pneumatic tubing); Polycarbonate (Covestro Makrolon — optical clarity, impact resistance, flame retardancy for automotive glazing, safety visors, optical discs, electronics); TPU (Desmopan, Elastollan — flexible engineering plastic for cables, footwear, industrial hose); PBT (Lanxess Pocan, BASF Ultradur — electrical/electronic connectors, switches); POM (BASF Ultraform — gears, bearings, precision parts); and PES/PSU (BASF Ultrason — hot water contact, medical sterilisation applications).
What is PEEK plastic and when should I specify it?
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is an ultra-high performance semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic combining exceptional: thermal resistance (continuous service temperature up to 250°C; short-term up to 300°C); chemical resistance (resistant to almost all chemicals at elevated temperatures); mechanical strength (tensile strength 100 MPa unfilled; 200+ MPa glass or carbon fibre reinforced); and electrical insulation properties. PEEK is specified for: aerospace and defence structural components; medical implants and surgical instruments (biocompatible, autoclavable); semiconductor manufacturing equipment components (ultra-high purity, chemical resistant); oil & gas downhole tools (high pressure, high temperature — HPHT applications); and high-wear engineering components replacing stainless steel. Evonik (Vestakeep), Victrex (UK), and Solvay (Belgium) are the three global PEEK producers. PEEK is priced at EUR 50–200+/kg versus EUR 1–3/kg for commodity thermoplastics.
