The stars on the world championship jersey of the German national team, interior covers of jewellery boxes, glasses cases or the glove compartment in a car have one thing in common: they are coated with flock. As a specialist in this sector, we – the PFT company with headquarters in Herscheid – use all traditional flocking techniques and thereby provide our customers with customised solutions. Countless objects from everyday life are refined, upgraded, protected and made more “hand-friendly” at our plant. Among these are car door seals and compartments in the interior as well as screw heads. Particularly in demand are springs, which we flock with a velvety soft yet extremely robust cover and which are used, for example, in boot lids for SUVs and many other vehicles which open and close automatically. This prevents annoying clicking noises.

Our company was founded at the end of 1993 to succeed the F.-J.-Rath Flock-Technik company with headquarters in the Plettenberg industrial park. We were able to transfer the concentrated know-how of this company into the new company and grow from 43 employees then to 80 employees now in just a short period of time. Since 2006, we have also been developing and constructing flocking machines and devices. This means we can react extremely quickly and productively to customer requests. Major customers in the automotive sector, manufacturers of household appliances and mid-sized companies in the furniture, packing and entertainment industries trust in the wealth of experience we have been able to gain in both industrial flocking and in design flocking.

Moreover, we are an active member in the “Flock Association of Europe”, whose main objectives are in accentuating the major advantages and special features of flocking technology. A second main focus of the association is to promote advancement and evaluation of all flocking techniques and standardisation as regards quality, safety and environmental compatibility.
