almaak international GmbH

About us

almaak international is an owner-managed company and, since 2022, part of the globally operating Hexpol Group (www.hexpol.com), which has many years of experience in the production, processing, and development of technical plastic compounds. At its plants in Krefeld and Doberlug-Kirchhain, approximately 60,000 metric tons of technical thermoplastics (PA, PC, PBT, ABS, PC/PBT, PC/ABS, PBT/ASA, PP, etc.) are produced annually on 18 production lines with flexible hourly outputs ranging from 25 kg to 1,500 kg. These products are primarily used in the automotive industry, the electrical and household goods sector, and the construction industry. almaak has extensive experience in handling secondary raw materials and is one of the leading providers of sustainable product solutions in Europe. In addition to top-quality products – ranging from medical applications to high-tech innovations in the field of virgin materials – the company has focused for years on developing compounds from sustainable raw materials, for which it has extensive series production experience in virtually all relevant applications. Due to the good availability and the high-quality, consistent material sources, only post-industrial recyclates (PIR) have been used as raw materials for these products to date. Since the end of 2023, the first Anja® compounds containing post-consumer recycled materials (PCR) have been available. These products have already received approval from various OEMs. These PCR-containing products have their own nomenclature and data sheets, making them clearly distinguishable from the familiar PIR-based Anja® compounds. By using the recycled Anja® compounds, almaak's customers save approximately 15,000 tons of CO2 annually, thus significantly reducing their environmental impact compared to using conventional virgin materials. almaak international is certified according to IATF 16949, DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 50001 and DIN EN ISO 14001 and therefore meets the highest standards of quality assurance and quality management, especially for the automotive industry.
