About SUMTEQ

Who we are

As a future-oriented high-tech company in the plastics industry, we stand for sustainable innovation. Thanks to our advanced technology, it is possible for the first time to expand polymers into a foam with a pore size in the nanometer range. This has resulted in a globally unique class of materials that helps to sustainably optimize products and processes and thus contribute to climate protection.
