Plastics expertise from a single source
L. Buck & Sohn is a Hanseatic traditional company based in Hamburg that has been active in the plastics sector since 1839. Its service portfolio covers trading and contract manufacturing: plastic semi-finished products (sheets, round rods, hollow rods) with a cutting service, energy-efficient piping systems including measurement and control technology, custom finished parts as well as engineered cylindrical and rectangular tanks. Manufacturing employs CNC milling and turning, laser cutting, laser marking, planing, edge forming, shaping, polishing, bonding and welding processes according to DVS standards. Plastics processed include PMMA (acrylic glass from Perspex® and Plexiglas®), PVC, PPH and PE. In addition to production, the company offers installation services: maintenance, repair, expansion, conversion and new construction of plants, plastic piping construction and plastic double piping. As a certified specialist company under the Federal Water Act (WHG) with DIBt approval, the company manufactures tanks and systems that can be inspected by TÜV on customer request. Complementary offerings include consulting, an online shop for semi-finished products and piping components (including Georg Fischer®) and a cutting configurator.
