Grässlin Kunststoffe is now an official distributor for Borealis—with a new trade show slogan, “THE PLASTICS EXPERTS,” at the KPA in Ulm
Borealis and Grässlin Kunststoffe have been working together successfully for just under two years. Now, one of the world’s leading polyolefin manufacturers and a European pioneer in polyolefin recycling, along with the reliable German distribution and logistics partner for plastic pellets and compounds, are expanding their partnership.
Effective immediately, Grässlin is the official distributor in Germany for Borealis’ innovative and sustainable polyolefin solutions. Just in time for the KPA in Ulm from February 25 to 26, 2026, the company is once again expanding its diverse product portfolio.
Most recently, the company announced strategic partnerships with Elastron for high-performance, future-oriented thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) and with Greco for thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU).
“For us, this distribution agreement is a sign of trust and another important building block in our comprehensive portfolio of high-performance , forward-looking materials that enable our customers to meet their demanding application requirements while also achieving their sustainability and performance goals,” said Holger Popp, authorized signatory at Grässlin. A key focus is on the materials Borcycle™, Fibremod™, BorPure™, Daplen™, and Recleo™. For more information, visit www.graesslin-kunststoffe.de
These materials combine high chemical resistance with excellent mechanical performance and meet the requirements of a wide range of applications, particularly in the small appliances and household appliances sectors. In many cases, these polyolefin solutions can replace ABS or PA and, among other benefits, enable lighter component weight. Additional benefits include outstanding stiffness with a high gloss level, good scratch resistance, and ease of coloring for product designs with high market appeal. Materials containing recycled content from Borealis’ Borcycle™ and Bornewables™ portfolios actively support the implementation of sustainability strategies.
With TPE, Health-Care, and LFAM on February 25–26, 2026, at the KPA in Ulm
At the KPA in Ulm, Grässlin is showcasing more than just this new partnership. Under the motto “THE PLASTICS EXPERTS,” the company will be focusing, among other things, on thermoplastic elastomers and high-performance materials for demanding healthcare applications at Booth E6 in Hall 1. In addition, Grässlin is highlighting its engineering services—which are also still in their early stages—including its Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) offering. This 3D printing process enables the direct production of large-format plastic components, allowing for the flexible, on-demand manufacture of large parts in small batches. “This enables us to provide targeted support to customers in testing materials, component designs, and manufacturing strategies,” says Popp. “For the cost-effective implementation of innovations—from concept to series production.”
