On a production area of approx. 14,000 m², 40 employees produce single-item and series production – from cutting to 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC milling, laser cutting and engraving, edge processing and finishing, to adhesive bonding technology, thermoforming and assembly. Materials processed include cast and extruded acrylic sheets (PLEXOCRYL, PLEXIGLAS®), PET/PET-G, polycarbonate, SAN, rigid PVC foam, aluminium composite sheets as well as steel, stainless steel, aluminium and wood. Since 2010, Plexotec has been an official trading licensee for PLEXIGLAS® (Evonik Röhm GmbH).
