The specialist partner for critical elastomer applications

Developing and producing customer-specific high-performance rubber compounds in Vorden, the Netherlands, since 1990 — today as the specialty compounding company of Elastofirm Group.

Polycomp develops, produces, tests and supplies customer-specific high-performance rubber compounds for demanding applications, based on FKM, FFKM, HNBR and (F)VMQ as well as all other polymers. Our compounds are used in critical applications across the oil & gas, automotive, medical, food and chemical process industries — with more than 70% of sales delivered outside the Netherlands.

We are service-oriented and flexible, with high quality standards, short lead times and direct access to the right specialist. We differentiate ourselves by working closely with our customers to develop the optimal product — and we stay involved until it works.

Marc Poortenga, Managing Director

What I enjoy most about Polycomp is working with people who know rubber inside out and care about getting things right. We’re a small, committed team with short lines of communication, both within Polycomp and with our customers. It’s easy to reach the right person, share ideas and work together on solutions and improvements.

For me, that’s what Polycomp is about: understanding what our customers need, taking quality seriously and staying involved until we find a solution that works in practice.

Tell me what we can do for you — I’d be happy to discuss it.
