In this way, our FPO / ECB roofing and waterproofing membranes give our customers in numerous industries a clear competitive edge. 

We serve several thousand customers globally and sell our FPO / ECB roofing and waterproofing membranes in many countries around the world. We draw on more than 50 years of experience in the field of plastic waterproofing membranes, which we use every day to ensure that you and your company benefit from the advantages of our innovative solutions.

LIVING SPACE

Flat roofs can help to reduce or optimize a building's land consumption. In addition to its pure function as the "upper end of a building," it can be assigned many other useful functions: Roof terraces and roof gardens create additional recreational space for building users. Green roofs improve rainwater retention, provide more biodiversity and create important habitat for bees and other insects. In addition, they ensure a reduction of the "Heat Island Effect" (unintentional temperature increase of the microclimate in urban areas).

 

 

TOGETHER

Proximity to our customers is the core of our business. We see the entire network of builders, planners and processors as our task to achieve the best solution for all parties involved with individual service.

With high-performance logistics partners and long-standing sales partners throughout Europe, we ensure reliability in the construction process.

DESIGN

Through customer proximity and permanent discourse, we succeed in finding the optimal waterproofing solution for each individual building project.

In doing so, we take into account national legislation, environmental requirements, and product- and building-specific features.

INDIVIDUAL

 

 

 

 

The requirements placed on buildings are becoming ever more comprehensive and schedules ever tighter. This requires a high degree of individuality and flexibility. With our know-how in planning and processing, we always find the right solution to fulfill our customers' wishes.

 

 

 

SAFE

Buildings and structures are constantly exposed to all kinds of wind and weather, are used intensively and adapted again and again in the course of their service life. Waterproofing is of particular importance here, which is why we also pay great attention to the small details.

Our product design ensures safe and efficient work, the quality of our products ensures a long service life, and holistic planning creates opportunities for later adaptations such as photovoltaic modules, urban gardening or similar.

TRADITION & INNOVATION

Although only founded in 2004, but still with experience going back to the 1950s in the background!

POLYFIN AG has decades of experience in the field of production, consulting and distribution of innovative plastic roofing membranes through its current and former shareholders. As early as the 1950s, the two companies Shell and BASF had the trademark "Lucobit" patented. LUCOBIT AG is still a shareholder of POLYFIN AG today. Odenwaldchemie-GmbH (Schönau) and Binné & Sohn GmbH & Co.KG can also look back on decades of experience in this field, which form the foundation of POLYFIN AG.

The year 2004 marked the beginning of a success story for POLYFIN AG that continues to this day, characterized by continuous growth and the willingness of the shareholders to invest.

One milestone in this process was the commissioning of POLYFIN AG's state-of-the-art production facility in Meckesheim near Heidelberg in 2015. In the course of the new construction of the production plant, POLYFIN AG's corporate headquarters were also relocated from the premises of Odenwaldchemie to Meckesheim.

In 2020, a new chapter in the history of POLYFIN AG was written: With the exit of Odenwald-Chemie, Büsscher + Hoffmann GmbH (Enns, Upper Austria) joined as a shareholder and currently holds 60% of the company's shares.

Through Büsscher + Hoffmann GmbH, POLYFIN AG opens up new, far-reaching distribution channels, especially in Austria and the countries of Eastern Europe.

 

OUR ENVIRONMENT

Ecology and sustainability represent a central issue for us.

This topic concerns both the raw materials and precursors used in the manufacture of our products and their use in construction projects, including their processing.

Raw materials and intermediate products

POLYFIN AG has deliberately chosen to manufacture and distribute FPO roofing membranes that are free of PVC, plasticizers (phthalates), halogens, solvents and heavy metals.

This circumstance leads to an excellent ecological profile, equally to an above-average long service life.

Unlike many other building products, which are free of solvents per se, Polyfin membranes also do not require solvent mixtures as auxiliary materials during processing.
