What Simona Group does

SIMONA AG (trading as Simona Group) is a German manufacturer of industrial thermoplastic products, founded in 1857 and headquartered in Kirn, Germany. The company produces semi-finished and finished plastic components — pipes, sheets and plates, welding rods, fittings, and custom form parts — fabricated from polymer materials including PE (PE 100, PE 100 RC, PE 1000), PVC (PVC-U, COPLAST), PP, PVDF, and specialty polymers such as FEP, PFA, ECTFE and CPVC. Its products serve a broad set of industrial verticals: chemical process industry, water management, energy/environment/resources, mobility and aviation, agriculture and food, construction and advertising, leisure and health, infrastructure, and marine/shipbuilding. Core technical differentiation rests on proprietary coextrusion technology (PE 100 AP-Line) that adds an abrasion- and impact-resistant inner layer, ATEX-certified electrically conductive plastics (PE-EL, PP-EL, PVDF-EL) for explosive atmospheres, and SIMOClearWeld pipe-joining technology.

The company sells through a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting industrial customers, operated via owned regional subsidiaries and sales offices in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, China, and the United States. Revenue is generated primarily through transactional product sales (pipes, sheets/foam boards, fittings, welding rods) priced on a quote-based unit model, supplemented by professional services and training via the SIMONA Academy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; terms include a €250 minimum order value, freight surcharges on smaller orders, and free delivery on qualifying pipe orders over €5,000 within Germany.

The sales process is supported by a suite of online engineering tools — SIMCHEM (chemical resistance), SIMOstatics (static calculations), SIMOMaterials (material selection), and a CAD data portal — plus the mySIMONA customer portal for stock availability and inquiries. SIMONA AG is publicly listed on the General Standard segment of the Frankfurt and Berlin stock exchanges and operates as an independent entity with no identified parent company. The provided data reports a headcount band of 251–500 employees; disclosed financial figures in the input are internally inconsistent and unreliable.
