In addition, PULTEX supplies the matching processing equipment from leading manufacturers such as Graco, Wiltec, Composite Integration and Alan Harper Composites — from high-pressure hot spray systems to RTM and vacuum infusion systems, as well as hotmelt systems and cobots for automation. Its services range from consulting and Europe-wide distribution from a central warehouse to after-sales service by its own service technicians, including training, a technical center for the maintenance of equipment, and the purchase of used reactors. Customers come from the composite/GRP industry, the coatings industry, insulation, the packaging and corrugated board industry, automotive, agricultural technology, logistics and the leisure industry. Sales exclusively to commercial, professional users.
