Company profile

HOS-Technik company profile

HOS was established in Austria in 1988. In the early days, HOS provided job-order production for large European chemicals companies. A separate product line was introduced for polymide production. They discovered that monomaleimides and bismaleimides are niche products that can also be sold worldwide by a small but specialized company. In order to promote sales of their products, HOS participates regularly in international conferences and exhibitions on composite materials and plastics in Europe, the US and Asia, such as SAMPE, JEC, K, IPF, and manymore. Thanks to their participation in exhibitions and conferences, advertisements in trade journals, HOS has become a well-known name in the international composites and rubber sector. They also maintain regular contacts with leading international specialists in this sector. Their production facilities are in Austria. Research and Development work, as well as quality control, is carried out in a well-equipped, modern laboratory. Their staff includes highly-qualified polymer chemists, who also work very closely with various universities, such as the Department of Macromolecular Chemistry at the Technical University in Vienna and Graz. Worldwide sales and local consulting for their products are provided in some cases by independent agents, dealing either with a particular region or branch of industry, and in other cases, sales activity is conducted directly from Austria. In addition to the composites industry, they also deliver additives to the rubber industry, where they have gained a large share of the European market in the meantime. Thanks to their high quality combined with attractive prices and to their ability to offer custom‑made solutions to their clients, they have also gained a very good market position in the US. Close contacts to leading US composite manufacturers have been established. To operate their equipments at full capacity, they still offer chemical contract manufacture as well. Here they carry out custom synthesis and contract drying for renowned companies from the European chemical industry.
