What Filament PM does

Filament PM is a Czech manufacturer of 3D printing filaments, operating as a brand under Plasty Mladeč and owned by Agricultural Cooperative Haňovice in the Olomouc region of Moravia. Founded in 1992 as a producer of extruded plastic profiles for air filters and welding wires, the company launched the Filament PM brand in 2013 following the arrival of co-founder Ing. Jan Přindiš in 2007. It now offers over 130 filament variants spanning beginner PLA/PLA+/PETG, recycled Re-series materials, specialty finishes (SILK, MarbleJet, GLOWJet, WOODJet), and high-performance industrial polymers including ULTEM/PEI, carbon and glass fiber composites, ESD-safe, fire-retardant (UL94 V0), and PC/ABS blends. Production relies on precision extrusion with ±0.05mm diameter tolerance and proprietary in-house material formulations, with manufacturing powered by a biogas facility.

The business is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce operation (shop.filament-pm.com) with global shipping, multi-currency support (EUR/CZK), and a regional spool return program for Czech and Slovak customers. Pricing is unit-based per kilogram, with standard filaments at €11–€20/kg and industrial-grade materials at €30–€95+/kg, complemented by a 15% summer sale promotion. Distribution combines the proprietary storefront with a reseller network, most notably as an official 'Made for PRUSA' OEM partner and a technical integration with BambuLab's AMS system via optimized .3mf profiles.

Filament PM serves a hybrid customer base: hobbyists and makers using desktop 3D printers (Prusa, BambuLab, Creality) for personal and creative projects, professional small businesses producing small-batch functional parts, and industrial manufacturers requiring aerospace-, automotive-, or electronics-grade materials. Customer testimonials come predominantly from individual hobbyists, and the company reports thousands of global customers. Certifications include RoHS, Reach, Recyclable, and Silicon Free, and the company markets a sustainability positioning through recycled material lines and Plastic Second Life-certified spools. No external institutional investment is indicated; ownership remains within the cooperative parent structure.
