In 1975 the first plastic parts were produced in Papiermühlenstr. 58 in the small community of Waltershausen. The former owner and founder of the plastics manufacturing department, Ekkehart Kunstmann, produced together with two employees the first plastic parts on plastic injection molding machines which he got from the scrap yard and  repaired them himself. In the following years new products were produced as subcontructor for companies of various sectors.
 
From 1990 the first plastic anchors were produced for a supplier of fastening technology. In 1994, Ralf Kunstmann followed his father after completed studies and became manufacturing manager.  Resulting from greater demand even from other companies the company grew steadily. Additional employees were hired. New injection moulding machines were purchased. Ralf Kunstmann leads the busisness successfully as managing director, since 1999. After his fathers retirement in 2010, Ralf Kunstmann became sole owner.
