Your product, manufactured sustainably

Interested in having your product manufactured sustainably and reducing your costs? HSV the particle foam engineers offers the solution. By using particle foams and by achieving clever combinations of different material groups and production technologies, HSV offers you a wide-ranging, in-depth spectrum of product solutions. These product solutions are fully developed and manufactured for you at HSV. Our production facilities use sustainable steam and renewable energy. By using minimum amounts of raw materials, we develop products with the optimal qualities that you need, which can also be recycled again at the end of their life cycle. The use of particle foams is perfectly aligned with the circular economy.

Your product, manufactured sustainably

Are you looking for ways to achieve sustainable manufacturing for your product? High-quality materials that can fulfil the requirements for extreme material properties? Or lightweight construction components for internal and external applications?

From design and manufacturing to assembly and just-in-time delivery, HSV the particle foam engineers has all the facilities and expertise you need, right within the company – and we contribute to sustainable product solutions that will save you money in countless ways. By using particle foams, you have complete freedom to create any shape at all for the design of your product, and the material has excellent insulating properties. Excellent shock-absorbing properties ensure maximum protection and the material is lightweight. Product combinations based on both hard and expandable plastics, Project+ solutions from HSV, are also possible. And particle foams are also infinitely recyclable.

To do our work as engineers properly, we need good people and good tools. That’s why a team of 11 qualified engineers work at HSV.

Custom manufacturing means we never avoid a request. We have sales engineers in NL, PL, CZ, UK and G. We process all common materials.

We adapt to your delivery requirements. Just-in-time, Kanban, data integration, rolling forecast, demand forecasting, warehousing.

Material combinations

Smart combinations

Thanks to smart combinations of various material groups and manufacturing technologies, our product range is both wide and deep. We design products with extreme properties. They are extremely light or extremely rigid. Or extremely long or extremely high, made possible by special connecting techniques.

Smart combinations

By using e.g. carbon fibre reinforcement, we can design lightweight structural parts that have to do their work under extreme conditions. In this, we differentiate between internal and external application.

Under one roof, we manufacture combinations of solid plastics and expandable plastics. By using plastic injection-moulded products, we can include load-bearing parts in your designs.

finishing

We can also apply surface finishing: vinyl, textile or other plastic layers. In larger series, this allows us to create very attractive results.

Expandable plastics also combine well with vacuform parts or with films. These are either shaped in the mould or shaped externally and placed in the mould. The result can be local strengthening or waterproofing.

The sustainable answer from HSV

98% air, 2% raw materials

airpop® engineered air (EPS) and EPP contain 98% air and 2% raw materials*. With minimum use of raw materials, we can achieve maximum effect. That’s what we call sustainable.

Biomass and windturbiness

We have switched to 100% renewable energy - our steam is biomass generated and our electricity stems from windturbines. That’s what we call sustainable.
