About us
Drei H Kunststoffe Verarbeitung und Vertrieb GmbH is a family business founded in 1975 and based in Erkelenz, specialising in the processing and machining of all types of plastics. Its range of services includes CNC turning and CNC milling (3-axis and 5-axis), single-part production, small-batch production, custom-made products as well as cutting and distribution of plastic semi-finished products. Before production begins, customers have access to qualified consulting and drawing-based planning using modern CAD-CAM software. Production is carried out for industrial customers, commercial businesses and private customers; the material plastic meets a wide variety of requirements in terms of material quality and dimensional accuracy. The machine fleet includes, among others, a CNC lathe, a 3-axis and a 5-axis CNC milling machine. The production site is conveniently located on the Heinsberg-Düsseldorf motorway in Erkelenz in the district of Heinsberg; since 2014 the company has been generating its own solar power with a photovoltaic system.
