Our expertise
Our long history translates into deep technical expertise. We are the reference partner for creating thermoplastic components, both for contract manufacturing and our own products, where precision is a fundamental requirement.
Our sustainable manufacturing in Switzerland guarantees not only an impeccable product but also a responsible production process.
Evolution and partnership
Being a historic company doesn’t mean standing still. With the recent generational transition, we have accelerated our digital transformation, strengthening our R&D department to respond even faster to the needs of our target sectors.
We are not mere executors, but a true partner for the development of thermoplastic components, collaborating to create innovative solutions.
Commitment to the future
Today, choosing a sustainable and certified B2B supplier is a strategic decision. We embraced this change by investing in a photovoltaic system and initiating Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for our products, in collaboration with academic partners like SUPSI.
Working with us means choosing an eco-friendly production supply chain that is transparent and measurable, adding value to your products and brand. Looking for a reliable, innovative, and sustainable partner? Discover how our experience can add value to your next project.
Faq
What does "integrated supply chain" mean for a Plastex customer?
“Integrated supply chain” means we internally control every project phase: from technical drawing, to mold construction in our workshop, through extrusion or molding, and final processing. For you, this means a single point of contact, faster development times, maximum confidentiality, and superior quality control.
Do you only work in the mentioned sectors or also in other fields?
The sectors mentioned (automotive, railway, construction, electronics, sun protection) are where we have the most historical experience. However, our expertise in custom design and technopolymer processing allows us to develop solutions for any industrial sector requiring high-performance technical components.
What is Plastex's concrete commitment to sustainability?
Our commitment is ISO 14001 certified, and we scientifically measure our impact with company-wide GHG reports and product Life Cycle Analyses (LCA). Thanks to concrete management choices, we use only renewable energy (hydroelectric and photovoltaic) and adopt circular economy principles, reintegrating production scraps into our processes.
