About us
The Buchsteiner brand has stood for high-quality, functional, durable and sustainable plastic products since 1910.
Even after the takeover of the Buchsteiner brand by MMW GmbH in 2024, values such as honesty, consistency, trust and reliability are at the heart of our work.
Our aim is to offer our customers products made from high-quality raw materials in the best premium quality.
The distinctiveness of our products in terms of form and function as well as the consistent focus on the needs of our customers are our top priority.
Quality, function, reliability and durability are the top priorities for all our services and products.
On the subject of plastics and sustainability -
why do we mainly manufacture our products from polypropylene PP?
Durability – Products made of PP are characterized by a long service life and are extremely break-proof.
Recyclability and environmental balance – Compared to alternative materials, PP has a significantly better energy consumption during production. PP is also easy to recycle.
Convenience and food contact – PP products are lightweight, shatterproof and easy to stack and transport. They can be cleaned easily and conveniently in the dishwasher. In addition, PP is safe and easy to use in all food contact applications.
Looking to the future – We are constantly on the lookout for alternative materials such as bioplastics or recycled raw materials.
At the moment, bioplastics are not yet an alternative, as the requirements for complete biodegradability are not met and the function and quality are often subject to significant limitations.
Recycled raw materials do not yet meet the strict requirements for food contact products, at least not yet.
As soon as new, sensible alternatives become available, we will of course also use them in our products.
