About us

KUNSTSTOFFEXPRESS is a raw materials trading and refinement company for thermoplastic polymers. We have signed distribution contracts and trade agreements to represent leading petrochemical groups in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Optimal product quality and ongoing quality assurance for our processes are part of our corporate guidelines. Our company was founded in 1997 as a commercial agency. In 1998, we received our first distribution contracts from DOW Chemical and Ravago Plastics. We were responsible for the distribution of all the resale products and the marketing of all the recompounds in Germany for Ravago Plastics. We have been working for DOMO Chemicals & Polymers since 2003, with whom we also entered into a contractual relationship in 2007. The Polypropylene business unit was sold to the BAZAN Group in 2011. Our Recycling business unit has specialised in the disposal, processing and marketing of PE, PS and ABS recompounds for more than 20 years. With average monthly sales of > 1,500 tons of recompounds, we are one of the leading companies in this sector. We maintain trading and production agreements with high-tech companies in industrial, vehicle, electrical and materials disposal and recycling.
