Dr. Gerhard Maier is a polymer chemist and lecturer for specialty and high-performance polymers at the Technical University of Munich. He has extensive and many years of experience in the areas of polymerizations, polymer structures and their properties.
He is co-founder and co-owner of Polymaterials AG and, as CTO, represents the company in various specialist groups and working groups, including at DECHEMA e.V., Frankfurt.
At Polymaterials, we start with an excellent knowledge base for the targeted development of polymer innovations. Nevertheless, with every result, with every discussion and with every project, we learn new things and new contexts, which we then use for our customers to make the projects a success. We are driven by curiosity to explore technical and material limits and to overcome them for the benefit of our customers.
We generate our specific project goals from the problems and questions of our customers and pursue them with all of our knowledge and skills. We always treat the information given to us by our customers and the specific results obtained in the projects carefully and strictly confidentially for the client. We use general experience, special results always belong to the customer.
We communicate openly, honestly and purposefully, both to our customers and internally. It is our firm belief that the best solutions are achieved through an often passionate but always respectful cooperation, both in the project teams with the customers and among colleagues as well as across the entire company. A first-class performance, always a positive attitude and an unconditional willingness to provide service form our basis to turn material ideas and visions into reality for our customers with team spirit.
