About Filzwieser
Industrietechnik Filzwieser GmbH is a medium-sized family business based in Gaflenz in Upper Austria that has been offering plastics engineering for almost 40 years. The company supports industrial customers from the initial idea through to series production: in injection molding, technical thermoplastic and elastomer parts are manufactured, including 1K, 2K and 3K multi-component parts, insert injection molding and parts from multi-cavity molds. With 23 injection molding machines with clamping forces of 25 to 300 t, part weights up to approx. 500 g and lot sizes from small to large series are possible. An in-house toolmaking department covers design, fill analysis, CNC milling as well as die-sinking, wire and start-hole EDM; tool maintenance, repair and optimization are carried out in-house. In addition, Filzwieser extrudes custom technical mono- and multi-layer films on four lines with thicknesses of 0.100 to 5 mm and widths of 350 to 1100 mm, including converting, corona pre-treatment and in-line laminating. Material focuses, alongside technical thermoplastics, are on flame-retardant materials, electrically conductive plastics, fiber-reinforced compounds and recycled materials. The company produces according to ISO 9001 and supplies industries such as electronics, building and installation technology, automotive and transportation, equipment and plant engineering, filtration and packaging technology.
