About KUTEC
KUTEC Kunststoff-Vertriebs-GmbH, based in Mertingen (Bavaria, Donau-Ries district), is a medium-sized supplier of technical plastic molded parts. The focus is on extrusion blow molding: on 18 different extrusion blow molding machines, the company produces blow-molded parts in weight classes from 5 grams to 8 kilograms, in lengths from 50 to 2000 millimeters and widths from 10 to 800 millimeters. In addition, injection-molded parts are produced in-house, which are welded to blow-molded parts or assembled into complete assemblies – using mirror, friction and ultrasonic welding as well as milling, drilling and flame treatment. The range of services also includes design consulting geared to toolmaking requirements, the construction of blow molds and injection molds with partner companies, in-house fixture building, filling and sealing of containers, and the procurement of accessory parts. All technical plastics are processed, above all polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Customers come from, among others, the construction, medical, automotive and tourism industries as well as from the toy, cleaning equipment, sports facility and household appliance sectors.
