Processing methods at Ensinger

To be able to fully exploit the potential of high performance plastics and materials, we use the latest technologies and manufacturing processes. 

From extrusion methods, injection molding and polyamide casting to direct forming, 3D printing and machining, we offer the entire spectrum of possible high performance plastic manufacturing technologies. In the Ensinger one-stop shop, we not only find the right technology for your application. Our cross-divisional approach also enables us to combine manufacturing processes.

We will be happy to advise you individually on which process technology is the right one for your project.


Plastic Extrusion expertise

The extrusion of thermoplastics is closely linked to the founding history of Ensinger: In 1966, company founder Wilfried Ensinger was the first to succeed in extruding high-performance thermoplastics into high-quality semi-finished products on specially developed extrusion lines. Today, the extrusion of thermoplastics is still a core area of Ensinger's solution portfolio. Thanks to the continuous development of the technology and the constant expansion of the product range, profiles, filaments and customer-specific tubes and hoses are now extruded in addition to semi-finished products and insulbar insulating profiles. 

We support our customers as a development partner and extrusion expert in the production of small and large series. As a global player, we meet our customers' needs worldwide.  With one of the largest peek extrusion facilities, we are the partner of choice for our customers.

Extrusion

Ensinger is an expert in the extrusion of thermoplastics, particularly high-performance plastics. We cover the entire plastics pyramid, including high fibre content products. 

Co-Extrusion

We use co-extrusion to produce profiles that combine different materials and properties, such as reinforced & non-reinforced, hard & soft materials or different colors.

Thermoplastic pultrusion

We use thermoplastic pultrusion to produce continuous fibre-reinforced profiles, which have excellent mechanical properties and can be used to replace metal.
