This year, one of the most versatile materials in the field of plastics processing celebrated its 75th anniversary: Polyurethane. Its importance is unquestioned today, but the growth rates of raw material consumption in recent years and the increasing number of areas of application show that this rightly celebrated anniversary is just one stage in the outstanding success story of polyurethane. The combination of tradition and future is also a key element in the history of the Hennecke Group: extremely broad based, at home in all areas of application and a traditional innovation driver. The close relationship between Hennecke and the triumphant success of polyurethane is also demonstrated in the current issue of our customer magazine INNOVATIONS. The material has not lost any of its fascination throughout the years – in fact, the opposite is true: The general efficiency discussion gives enormous scope for forward-looking applications. For example, when it comes to the automotive industry's demand for reducing the weight of car load floors. But because of its continuous efforts to improve and expand its product portfolio, Hennecke is also able to push the limits of traditional applications. The same is reflected in Hennecke's new website which is as broad based as its product range. Apart from a new design, the focus is on functionality and a structured flow of information. We invite you to visit us at www.hennecke.com and, for example, download your copy of our customer magazine.I hope you will enjoy reading it and find some interesting news.
