About us
almaak international is a founder-managed company and, since 2022, part of the globally operating Hexpol Group (www.hexpol.com) with many years of experience in the production, processing, and development of technical plastic compounds.
At its plants in Krefeld and Doberlug-Kirchhain, around 60,000 tons of engineering thermoplastics (PA, PC, PBT, ABS, PC/PBT, PC/ABS, PBT/ASA, PP, etc.) can be produced annually on 18 production lines with a flexible hourly output of 25 kg to 1,500 kg.
These products are mainly used in the automotive industry, in the electrical and household goods sector and in the construction industry.
almaak has many years of experience in dealing with secondary raw materials and is one of the leading suppliers of sustainable product solutions in Europe. In addition to top-quality products – ranging from medical applications to highly technical innovations of virgin material – the company has for years focused on the development of compounds from sustainable raw materials, for which there is extensive series production experience in almost all relevant applications.
Due to their good availability and 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 recyclates (PCR) have been available. Those products have already been approved by various OEMs. These products with PCR content have their own nomenclature and data sheets, so that they can be clearly distinguished from the familiar PIR-based Anja® compounds.
By using the recycled-based Anja® compounds, almaak’s customers save approximately 15,000 tons of CO2 annually, significantly reducing their environmental impact compared to the use of conventional new materials.
With its current workforce of around 200 employees, almaak develops and manufactures both customer-specific small quantities and large quantities, and is thus just as much a partner to medium-sized and smaller companies as it is to the large, globally producing, plastics-processing companies.
The finished products in all common modifications are offered under the following brand names:
- Anjaconduct® Electrically conductive compounds
- Anjaflam® Flame-retardant compounds
- Anjatech® Specially technically modified compounds
- Anjacom® Standard compounds
- Anjaeco® unreinforced compounds whose raw material base consists of up to 100% pure-grade textile fibers
- Anjamed® Compounds for medical applications
- Anjarec® Compounds with 100% recycled content in the polymer base
- Anjaroto® Finepulver for rotomoulding applications
All materials are supplied with data sheet and quality certificate – also after modification with additives requested by the customer or customer-specific quality adjustments.
almaak international is certified according to IATF 16949, DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 50001 as well as DIN EN ISO 14001 and thus fulfills the highest demands on quality assurance and quality management especially for the automotive industry.
almaak has had ECOVADIS Silver status since 2020.
