About HECKER® Kunststofftechnik
Hecker Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co. KG, based in Dortmund, has been manufacturing technical drawing parts from transparent plastics for over 50 years. The company processes only original PLEXIGLAS® (acrylic glass/PMMA) from POLYVANTIS as well as polycarbonate (Exolon® GP/Makrolon®, LEXAN®), PETG and VIVAK®. The manufacturing techniques include CNC milling, laser cutting (cut-to-size panels up to 3 × 2 m, sheet thicknesses 2–100 mm), sawing, cutting, moulding, forming, bending and hot bending; polishing, printing and painting are also available in-house. Production is custom-made from CAD data — from prototype to series production. Products include machine guarding covers, components for medical and laboratory technology, functional and simulation models, acrylic glass covers, special tubes, filling funnels, technical displays as well as semi-finished products and cut-to-size blanks. Customers come from industry, research, design, mechanical engineering as well as medical and laboratory technology. The company, certified to ISO 9001:2015 (TÜV NORD), supplies customers worldwide.
