Polymer-Service

What Polymer-Service does

Polymer-Service PSG GmbH (PSG) is a German specialty plastics distributor and technical service provider founded in 1989 in Hamburg and relocated in 2016 to Beckedorf-Seevetal, Lower Saxony. The company distributes engineering plastics, thermoplastic elastomers, high-performance plastics (including fluoropolymers and PEEK), and masterbatches/additives sourced from leading international producers such as LG Chem, Aquafil, Taro Plast, Dongsung Chemical, Kumho Polychem, Samyang, Youju, and several Chinese fluoropolymer manufacturers. PSG is integrated into the W&S Group alongside WEBER & SCHAER and Braun Battenberg Mahlwerke, leveraging the group umbrella for regranulate supply and shared warehouse/logistics infrastructure.

PSG operates as a value-added B2B distributor: revenue is generated through one-time sales of distributed polymers bundled with technical consulting services covering material selection, sampling, application engineering, process optimization, quality control and regulatory compliance. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales with direct customer relationships supported by Key Account Managers, a Senior Technical Sales Manager, and a Business Development Manager. Quote-based pricing with multi-year contracts is the norm, and the company maintains a strategically placed European warehouse network for inventory and short lead times. The company is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (since 2004) and GDPR-compliant.

The customer base spans the plastics processing industry (primary) with vertical focus on automotive (exterior and structural components), water treatment, medical technology and electronics. PSG positions around reliability, technical depth, and sustainability — including a CO2 calculator tool, fluoropolymer residue reprocessing, and distribution of recycled polyamide grades. PSG is led by co-Managing Directors Nils Hertling and René Marc Weber, with a Head of Sales and Head of Product Management. The company operates with 11-50 employees and does not publicly disclose revenue.
