Schmidt + Bartl was founded in 1985 in Villingen-Schwenningen and has been active in the distribution of semi-finished plastic products, plastic piping systems and elastomers for almost 30 years. Furthermore, the company operates in the production of small-series technical plastic and elastomer parts for more than 15 years and uses a wide range of machinery from CNC milling machines to 3D printers for this purpose. Due to high material competences in plastic design, Schmidt + Bartl advises the development departments of its customers from the idea to the production stage of a product. The semi-finished plastic products can be individually further processed in-house or externally by applying various processing methods. With its very broad product portfolio ranging from standard to high-performance plastics and its customer and supplier relationships that have been in place for several decades, the company generates annual sales of over EUR 20 million with approx. 30 employees.
