About Maillith

Maillith GmbH is a family-owned company from Lauterbach (Frischborn, Hesse) and has been manufacturing sports and play equipment as well as outdoor furniture from polymer concrete (mineral casting) since 1983. The product range includes outdoor table tennis tables, refurbishment panels for weathered concrete table tennis tables, table football tables, tennis walls (SMASH-BACK), bouldering walls, seating groups, seating blocks and planting elements. The material polymer concrete – a mix of minerals and polyester resin – is cast in moulds and compacted; it is pore-free, UV- and frost-resistant and achieves almost four times the strength of conventional concrete. The fine-layer playing surfaces enable ball bounce behaviour close to competition tables; logos and sponsor graphics can be permanently integrated beneath a transparent protective layer. The products are manufactured mainly for schoolyards, parks, outdoor pools, campsites, sports clubs and hotels and delivered worldwide, including to South America, Hong Kong, Africa and Australia. All polymer concrete products are manufactured at the company's own plant in Lauterbach; purchased parts come almost exclusively from Europe.
