What Fillamentum does

Fillamentum is a Czech Republic-based manufacturer of premium 3D printing filaments serving hobbyist, professional, and industrial customers globally. Founded in 2011 (originally as PARZLICH) and headquartered in Hulín, the company uses continuous polymer extrusion technology to produce Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) filaments under multiple sub-brands: Fillamentum Industrial (engineering polymers such as Fluorodur PVDF, carbon- and aramid-reinforced nylons, PC/ABS, PP 2320, Vinyl 303, CPE CF112 Carbon), Fillamentum forNATURE (NonOilen biodegradable PLA/PHB blend, OrCA recycled fishing-net nylon with carbon fiber), Flexfill (TPU, TPE, PEBA flexible variants), and core PLA Extrafill, Timberfill (wood-fiber composite), ASA, ABS, PETG, CPE, HIPS, and Vinyl lines. The company emphasizes premium quality control with +/- 0.05mm diameter tolerance and CPK process capability exceeding 1.67 (1 ppm defect rate), backed by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

The business model is hardware sales of filament spools (750g, 1kg, 2.5kg) distributed through a global network of more than 50 distributors across 62+ countries, supplemented by direct-to-consumer e-commerce via shop.fillamentum.com, marketplace listings, and a sales-led EDU program offering 10% discounts to schools, universities, and makerspaces. Revenue is generated primarily from filament sales, with non-disclosed unit pricing for consumers and quote-based pricing for industrial/commercial volume customers. Named industrial customers include Continental, Daikin, Rolls-Royce, Fremach, Meopta, Hardwario, Pawsthesis, and the Czech Army-affiliated Institute of Geology, indicating traction in automotive, aerospace, electronics, optics, medical/prosthetics, and research end-markets alongside the hobbyist/maker base. The company has been publicly listed on the Prague Stock Exchange START market since May 2018 and operates research collaborations with Slovak Technical University, Brno University of Technology, CEITEC, and University of Technology Zlín, with co-development partnerships including Fishy Filaments (UK) for recycled materials and chemical suppliers Arkema and Westlake Chemical for raw materials.
