About us

WM-FLON GmbH, based in Bietigheim-Bissingen, specializes in high-performance plastics, in particular fluoropolymers such as PTFE and the modified PTFE TFM. Using self-developed ram extruders, the company produces PTFE/TFM-extruded rods and tubes and offers their further processing by centerless cylindrical grinding as well as cut-to-size semi-finished products, rods, tubes and sheets. The service portfolio is complemented by materials testing and failure analysis, process analysis, and consulting and development of customized solutions based on PTFE, fluoropolymers and compounds. Founder and Managing Director Markus Woelky brings almost 30 years of experience in the field of high-performance plastics. Customers are users of fluoropolymers from various industries, for whom customized component and material solutions are developed.
