Polytives

Polytives develops and distributes universally applicable polymer additives for the plastics industry. These products are processing aids for plastics of all kinds and for almost all areas of application, as numerous use cases show. They make processing much more efficient and expand the range of applications for the material to which they are added without compromising the mechanical properties. Polytives shares the vision of developing plastics more intelligently, using them more sustainably and continuing to position them technologically as a material of the future. 🧑 The young company's expertise stems from the research project launched by Polytives co-founder Oliver Eckardt in 2014. Together with business economist Viktoria Rothleitner and Prof. Felix H. Schacher (professorship of organic chemistry), he has been planning the company since 2018 from an EXIST project and founded it in Jena/Thuringia. The research findings at the time have been successfully scaled up to an industrial production in recent years.
