We’re expanding our service portfolio: From now on, our customers have access to comprehensive laboratory services—from raw material analysis to component testing. With over 500 testing procedures, accredited methods, and six specialized departments, we support faster, more reliable material qualification.

Glass fiber reinforced compounds have been a proven material in the plastics industry for years – whether in polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA) applications. Until now, however, reinforcement has been based almost exclusively on virgin material. We asked ourselves: Couldn't this be done with recycled materials? The answer is yes!

K 2025 is now behind us, and we can look back on an extremely successful week at the trade fair. Many intensive discussions, fresh ideas, and concrete project concepts demonstrated how strongly the industry is currently being driven by digitalization, material efficiency, and resilient supply chains. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts with us!

The Meraxis Group has appointed Christophe Cario as Managing Director of Fournier Polymers. Since January 1, 2026, the experienced manager has taken the lead of the distribution company, which has been part of the Meraxis Group since 2023. Fournier is one of the leading distributors of standard and technical polymers and additives in Europe and North Africa. With this new appointment, Meraxis is consistently continuing to expand its presence in these markets and strengthening its product portfolio.

Meraxis is expanding its service portfolio and will offer comprehensive laboratory services for the polymer industry starting in January 2026. The company is taking over the accredited testing laboratories from the REHAU Group. Meraxis is thus expanding its portfolio to include independent and internationally comparable testing services.

With the acquisition of production and development capacities, Meraxis is reaching the next milestone in its corporate strategy and setting an example for growth. The Swiss distributor will take over the REHAU Group's compounding plant in Velen (North Rhine-Westphalia) on January 1, 2026. The plant has a production capacity of around 50,000 tons and manufactures PP, PE, and PVC compounds for the automotive, medical, and furniture industries, among others, which Meraxis now distributes exclusively.
