Ensinger (company)

[10] On 1 February 2022, it was announced Ensinger had concluded a joint agreement to acquire INEOS Styrolution's StyLight thermoplastic composite materials business.

[12] Ensinger's thermoplastic polymer products are utilised across a variety of industrial sectors, including mechanical engineering, automotive aviation, and medical technology.

[13][14][15] The company's technical solutions predominantly based on thermoplastic polymers, are also prevalent in the food industry as well as in electrical and semiconductor technologies.

To process the thermoplastic polymers, Ensinger uses a number of production methods, in particular compounding, extrusion, machining, injection moulding, casting, sintering and compression molding.

The range of polymers processed by Ensinger includes engineering plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyoxymethylene (POM), as well as a category of temperature-resistance-high-performance plastics such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK),[16] polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polysulfone (PSU), polyimide (PI), and polyimide aurum TPI.

Ensinger has developed a range of modified plastics through this method, including products that have enhanced sliding friction values and materials engineered to possess specific electrical properties.

The semi-finished products can be simply cut or subjected to more complex processes like grinding, planing, or precise machining based on specific drawings.

Examples include thrust washers, piston rings, and ball shells for the automotive industry, along with machine elements like bearings and gears.

[19] The company also owns subsidiaries in Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, India, Taiwan and South Korea.
