aboutfilms: product management for high-grade polymers and films
The German company aboutfilms, Bad Schwalbach, founded by Dipl.-Ing. Ekkehard Beer, offers a product management service embracing everything to do with the manufacture, processing and application of polymer-based films. The main point of emphasis of this company’s activities is the development and marketing of high-grade films for highly demanding
technical and industrial applications, such as those, for example, in medical and biotechnology, the automotive, consumer goods and packaging industries, and in data transmission and communication systems. It is in these areas of application that high-performance and special-purpose films, coated for specific functions and purposes or modified with the aid of nanotechnology, are rapidly gaining in importance. New and interesting applications are also opening up for uniaxially and biaxially oriented films and for films compressed from porous non-woven web materials.
Ekkehard Beer’s 36 years’ experience in film manufacture stand him in good stead for his new company’s activities. His customers benefit from his comprehensive technology and marketing know-how, his sound knowledge of the film market and his contacts with numerous film manufacturers and processors both in Germany and abroad. So far, aboutfilms can boast nearly two wholly successful years at the service of.
• Machine manufacturers – e.g. assessing the market potential of new film applications and then modifying existing machines at reasonable cost so that these new film products can be readily manufactured on them,
• Raw material producers – developing new areas of application for their materials, e.g. for the production of films for medical or pharmaceutical applications,
• Processors – developing films from available raw materials using innovative technologies, modified additives and/or additional or subsequent treatment processes in order to improve their functional properties or render them suitable for new applications.
