Machining applications

Machined plastic parts as a solution for a wide range of industry applications

Today's world is no longer imaginable without high-performance plastics. TECAPEEK (PEEK), TECAFORM (POM), TECASON (PPSU) and co. are home to a multitude of different areas of application with the most diverse requirement profiles. Ensinger not only offers its customers stock shapes produced in-house, but also enables them to use them as finished components, entire assemblies or complete solution strategies thanks to its know-how in specific processing methods. Machining thermoplastics is one of the core competences of the Ensinger Group - years of experience and continuous method enhancements, complemented by state-of-the-art machinery and trained skilled workers make Ensinger one of the leading manufacturers and solution providers in the industry.


Solutions for medical, pharmaceutical, Engineering and more

Complex challenges in terms of materials and processing have always made medical products among the most demanding compared to other areas of application. Similar demands are made by the pharmaceutical and food industries - it is these sectors in which Ensinger feels at home and can bring its full potential. Thanks to validated processes, qualified equipment, ISO certification and compliance with GMP requirements (Good Manufacturing Practice), we are available as a quality solution supplier for critical industries. As a solution provider, we work together with our customers on the optimal implementation for different requirements long before machining. Our services go beyond the milling of plastics and start much earlier. The applications are more diverse than ever.
