Our History

We'll take you on a fascinating journey through time and share the inspiring story behind Plastchem. Our history forms the solid foundation upon which we are built and has shaped us into who we are today.

In 1985, Plastchem marked a milestone in its history with the establishment of P.A.T. Engineering. This new branch of the company was founded with an ambitious goal: to develop innovative technologies that would elevate the processing of plastics and chemical products to new heights.

Founding Date April 1, 1994, was a pivotal moment in Plastchem's history. This year signified both the commencement of PVC compound production on the Wavin premises and the official founding date of Plastchem.

From this point onward, Plastchem gained ownership of the buildings on the Wavin site. A significant milestone for the company.

In 2005, Plastchem took a significant step into the world of entertainment and music with the successful development of Vinyl Record Compounds. Building upon their extensive expertise in plastic processing, Plastchem managed to create innovative formulations designed specifically for the production of high-quality vinyl records.

In 2010, Plastchem remained as the sole compounder of PVC compounds in the Benelux.

In 2012, Plastchem achieved a new height in its growth journey with the successful realization of the first expansion of its warehouse facilities. This step was a result of the increasing demand for Plastchem's high-quality plastic products and compounds, and the company recognized the need to expand its logistical capabilities to meet this demand.

In 2015, Plastchem took a bold step forward with the acquisition of an impressive piece of land spanning 50,000 square meters. This strategic investment was a significant milestone in the company's evolution and offered numerous possibilities for future growth and development.

In 2020, Plastchem embarked on an ambitious project with the initiation of the construction of a brand-new factory. This significant milestone marked a major leap forward in the company's expansion plans and strengthened its position as a leading player in the plastics industry.

In August 2021, Plastchem achieved a significant milestone with the successful inauguration of its new production location. This ultramodern facility, built with advanced technologies and sustainable practices, represented a major leap forward in the company's growth and development.

ISO 9001 is an international standard for quality management that sets requirements for establishing and implementing an effective quality management system. By achieving this certification, Plastchem demonstrated its adherence to the highest standards of customer focus, quality assurance, and continuous improvement of its processes and services. This affirmed Plastchem's ability to deliver high-quality products that meet the expectations and requirements of its customers.

In 2023, Plastchem achieved a significant milestone in sustainability by receiving ISCC certification for its Bio-Compounds and Bio-Vinyl products. ISCC stands for International Sustainability and Carbon Certification and is a globally recognized certification program that ensures the sustainability of bio-based products. The certification process encompasses stringent criteria for the entire value chain, from the source of raw materials to the end product, to ensure that production meets high environmental standards and social responsibility.

Plastchem is investing in advanced recycling technologies and facilities to establish an efficient and effective recycling cycle. By integrating recycling into its value chain, the company demonstrates its commitment to making a positive impact on the environment and contributing to the reduction of plastic pollution.
