About Weber Kunststofftechnik
Kunststofftechnik Weber GmbH is a manufacturer specialized in industrial tank, apparatus and pipework construction from plastics, headquartered in Minden. The company manufactures round and rectangular tanks from welded thermoplastic sheets, thermoplastically wound winding pipe and GRP composite materials, and delivers complete systems for tank farms, surface technology (electroplating, anodizing), pre-treatment systems for hot-dip galvanizing, exhaust air purification and hazardous materials storage. Materials processed include thermoplastics such as PE-100-RC, PP-H, PVDF, PVC-U/PVC-C, ECTFE and PFA/MFA as well as composite materials such as PE-GRP, PP-GRP and PVDF-GRP. The value chain ranges from project planning and design including 3D FEM structural analysis, through in-house manufacturing with partly self-developed machines — such as butt-welding systems for 5 m long sheets up to 60 mm thick — to installation, commissioning and maintenance by an installation team of more than 25. In addition, as the parent company of the Weber Group with seven companies, the company offers traded goods for pipework and plant construction from a 1,000 m² high-bay warehouse. Customer industries include chemicals, surface technology, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, energy technology and recycling.
