Last month marked the tenth anniversary of the successful combination of thyssenkrupp’s plastics activities in one company - thyssenkrupp Plastics - which started operations on October 1, 2009.

“We are proud that together we have already been a successful market player for a decade, constantly developing in collaboration with our customers and suppliers. We will continue along this path to ensure we remain a strong partner to industry, the construction sector and the trades in the future,” said Nicolas Neuwirth from the thyssenkrupp Plastics Management Board.
