Handtmann Kunststofftechnik
About us
The Handtmann Group combines more than 150 years of tradition with an innovative focus on the future. As an independent company within the Handtmann Group of Companies, we, Albert Handtmann Elteka GmbH & Co. KG, have developed into the world market leader in the production and processing of PA 12C.
The high-tech materials developed in our in-house laboratories LTK® PURE and LTK® METAL CORE (previously Lauramid®), LTK® COMPOSITE (previously HiCompelt®) and LTK® INJECT (previously Lauramid Inject®) are used in mechanical engineering as components or complete systems in a variety of industries. The material LTK® ADDITIVE (previously 3D Filament) complements the product range. Well-known customers worldwide rely on our moulded component solutions. Handtmann Elteka has a global presence.
The Handtmann family has recently been enriched by the addition of Kegelmann Technik GmbH. For more than 35 years, Kegelmann has had a broad engineering expertise and can offer prototypes and small series in in-house 3D printing, injection moulding or CNC machining. Thanks to the company's own toolmaking department, extremely short delivery times are possible. This means that Kegelmann and Handtmann Elteka complement each other perfectly in their product range.
The slogan can thus be used with great self-confidence:
For every industry. For every requirement.
Products & services
Additive Manufacturing at the Highest Level
Our additive manufacturing – impressive in print. Tangible parts are created directly from ideas without unnecessary detours. That's the great advantage of additive manufacturing. The dream of "series of 1," meaning the production of a unique, individual piece in multiple copies, has also been a tangible reality for us for quite some time. The continuous monitoring and control of all process steps, including pre- and post-processing, combined with our in-house quality assurance, enables us to guarantee consistently high component quality for our customers across every project – even in series production. The entire production process, from design and simulation to manufacturing and post-processing (surface treatment, machining), takes place in-house. This is how we guarantee maximum flexibility, precision, and quality in additive manufacturing. THE FUTURE IS ADDITIONAL. HANDTMANN MAKES IT TANGIBLE! Since 1989, we have been pioneers in 3D printing expertise, continually setting new standards with state-of-the-art technologies and an exceptionally diverse portfolio. With our two new 3D printers – the queen of large-format printers, the "Queen 1" from Q.Big 3D, and the super printer Farsoon HT601P-2 – we offer cutting-edge high-tech highlights that enable large formats and the highest precision. Our entire portfolio of 3D printing technologies, including FFF, SLA, SLS, SLM, and MJF, sets modern standards and offers exceptional versatility. We not only utilize our own PA12C recycled material but also process many other materials to meet a wide range of requirements. Please feel free to contact us anytime – we will find the perfect solution for your application!
Maritime – Innovative Plastic Technology for Maximum Loads On- and Offshore
Lauramid® engineering plastic, our special PA12C, is the ideal material for marine applications such as propellers, seals, and components for tidal power plants. Thanks to its low water absorption and high impact strength, Lauramid® PA12C reliably replaces metal – even under extreme conditions at sea. Our plastic ensures durable and high-performance components for marine applications. Our LTK® products made from Lauramid impress with their exceptional material resistance – whether in seawater, rain, steam, or under high pressure. They offer reliable resistance that truly makes waves! With our KTL® production, we support you from development through 3D printing to injection molding. We manufacture innovative plastic solutions specifically designed for the unique challenges of marine environments. Trust in our experience when it comes to durability and precision in marine engineering.
Plastic Solutions for Mechanical and Plant Engineering
In mechanical and plant engineering, we offer customized plastic solutions for a wide range of industries – from manufacturing and technology to energy and medical technology. Our production capabilities include prototypes, pre-series production, and large-scale production using 3D printing and injection molding.
