About H&S Kunststofftechnik
H&S Kunststofftechnik GmbH, founded in 1997, is an owner-managed specialist company for the processing of PLEXIGLAS®, acrylic glass and polycarbonate with its own production facility in Siegen (South Westphalia). At the plant in the Charlottenhütte, sheets, tubes, round rods and domes are cut to size with millimetre precision, CNC-milled, laser-cut, engraved, edged, thermally formed and bonded bubble-free at mitre joints using ACRIFIX®. In addition to PMMA in extruded (XT) and cast (GS) quality, polycarbonate (EXOLON®), PETG as well as technical plastics such as POM-C, PE 500/1000, PA6, PVC and PTFE are processed. Production runs from a single piece up to large series, with cuts up to 3050 × 2050 mm and CNC machining up to 3000 × 2000 mm based on DXF, DWG or STEP drawings. Customers come from mechanical engineering, shopfitting, the lighting industry, museums, public authorities, universities and technical trade. Via its own online shop alles-aus-plexiglas.de, the company with 20 employees serves customers throughout Germany; deliveries to Austria, Switzerland and across the EU are available on request.
