Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH acquires MK Kunststoffverarbeitung – expanding expertise in plastics processing
Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH is expanding its service portfolio: As of July 1, 2026, MK Kunststoffverarbeitung has been organizationally and operationally integrated into Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH. With this step, the company strengthens its expertise in processing technical plastics and strategically expands its production capacities. The integration includes the established site in Hatten, which will retain its specialization in plastics processing and acrylic glass solutions.
Expansion of the service portfolio
With this acquisition, Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH is expanding its product range, particularly in the following areas:
- Cut-to-size pieces made of acrylic glass, polycarbonate and other engineering plastics
- CNC milling, drilling, sawing and edge processing
- Laser cutting for precise plastic parts
- Bending and edging of plastic sheets
- Bonding and assembly of components
- Production of individual parts, prototypes and small series
- Manufacturing of individual technical molded parts and special-order products
This means that plastics processing complements the existing portfolio of Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH, which already includes the production and processing of electrical insulating materials, technical films, sealing materials, thermal conductivity products and stamped and molded parts.
More options for customers
Customers will benefit from numerous advantages as a result of the integration. They will profit from an expanded range of manufacturing services from a single source, as well as from the many years of experience of both companies.
In addition to classic industrial applications, the range of services will also include the production of individual products made of acrylic glass, for example:
- Protective hoods and machine covers
- Displays and presentation systems
- technical housing
- Custom cuts
- Robotic lawnmower garages
- Feeding stations and birdhouses made of acrylic glass
By combining modern manufacturing technologies with a high level of materials expertise, even complex customer requirements can be implemented economically.
The proven location will be retained.
The Hatten production site will be fully retained and will continue to be operated as a specialized manufacturing site for plastics processing.
Ongoing projects and existing orders will continue unchanged, ensuring a seamless transition. At the same time, offers, order confirmations, and invoices will be processed by Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH going forward.
Digitization and expansion of the online offering
As part of the integration, the manufacturing and administrative processes will be gradually transferred into the existing systems of Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH.
A particular focus is on the digitalization of sales. Acrylic glass products, as well as custom cuts and special orders, will increasingly be offered via the online shop and other digital sales channels. This will make ordering standardized plastic products even easier and faster for customers.
Synergies for industry and custom-made products
Pooling expertise creates numerous synergies. Customers will gain access to a significantly expanded manufacturing portfolio – from material consulting and design to series production.
The combination of plastics processing, technical films, insulation materials and sealing technology opens up opportunities, especially for industries such as:
- Industrial machinery and equipment
- Electrical Engineering
- Medical Technology
- Automation systems
- Aerospace
- rail vehicle construction
new opportunities for customized solutions.
Expertise in plastics processing further expanded
The integration of MK Kunststoffverarbeitung is a further step in the strategic development of Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH. The aim is to offer customers an even more comprehensive range of services related to technical plastics and industrial manufacturing technologies.
Using state-of-the-art machining technology, high material expertise and decades of experience, Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH develops and manufactures individual solutions – from simple cutouts to complex assemblies.
Conclusion
With the integration of MK Kunststoffverarbeitung, Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH significantly expands its expertise in the field of plastics processing. Customers benefit from a broader range of manufacturing options, modern processing technologies, and the combination of materials knowledge and manufacturing expertise.
The merger of the two companies strengthens Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH's position as a high-performing partner for technical plastics, acrylic glass and polycarbonate processing, technical films, electrical insulating materials, and customized solutions. At the same time, the Hatten site will remain a center of excellence for plastics processing.
