About W. Max Wirth
W. Max Wirth GmbH from Braunschweig has been trading in and machining plastic products and plastic semi-finished materials since 1946. The company produces cut-to-size sheets made of PLEXIGLAS®/acrylic glass (PMMA), polycarbonate, PE, PVC, PTFE, PETG, PVDF, hard paper, rigid PVC foam and GRP. Based on drawings, the CNC department produces milled parts as prototypes or in series for industry and technology. In addition, cut edges are polished, edges are folded and sheets are cut to size. The product range includes multiwall and corrugated sheets for carport, patio and greenhouse roofing, acrylic glass tubes and rods as well as PTFE cut sheets, which are also suitable for medical applications such as implants. Customers come from the skilled trades, industry, advertising, exhibition stand construction, medical technology, chemical apparatus engineering, the electrical and semiconductor industries and the food industry. 24 employees work on a production and storage area of over 8,000 m²; sales are handled via the website and an online shop for small quantities and remaining stock.
