Plastics Processing
Find precisely injection molders, extruders, or compounders based on their real machine data and the materials processed (e.g., rPET). Live buyer signals and commercial-register depth instead of outdated industry codes.
Warum Standard-Tools hier scheitern
Normale Datenbanken kennen keine Maschinen, Zertifikate oder Fertigungsverfahren.
Industry codes lump everything together
"Manufacture of plastic products" covers the injection molder for automotive parts, the film extruder, the compounder, and the thermoformer. Anyone selling machines or materials for a specific process can do nothing with this industry class.
Material determines the need
Whether a processor runs technical thermoplastics, elastomers, high-performance polymers (PEEK, PA66 GF), or recyclates completely determines which machines, dryers, tools, and additives it needs. This information is on the website — but no database reads it.
Sustainability and recyclate pressure
The EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR), recyclate quotas, and PCR requirements force processors to switch to rPET and recyclates. This very conversion is an acute investment window for new machinery and compounding solutions.
Capex windows are invisible
A new molding hall, added machines, a grant approval, or a reshoring decision — these are the moments when budget flows. Static address lists never show this timing.
Die Kodo Leads Lösung
Material Parsing
Search specifically for companies that process special thermoplastics, elastomers, high-performance polymers, or recyclates — extracted from website text, product pages, and PDF data sheets.
Process Scanner
Reliably distinguish between injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, and compounding — things that industry codes usually lump together.
Machine Park Detection
Kodo reads manufacturer and equipment mentions (e.g., Arburg, Engel, KraussMaffei, Coperion, Battenfeld) to estimate the machine park and clamping-force class.
Recyclate & Sustainability Radar
Detect processors switching to rPET, PCR, or circular solutions — the hottest leads for vendors of compounding, sorting, and washing technology.
Capex & Plant Signals
New halls, machine additions, grant approvals, and site expansions are extracted from news, press, and job postings — the acute procurement window.
Commercial-Register Depth + Decision-Makers
Managing directors, shareholder structure, and capital changes from the commercial register, plus a direct contact instead of an anonymous info@ address.

B2B sales in plastics processing
The plastics-processing industry in the DACH region is one of the most diverse sectors of all — and at the same time one of the most poorly classified. The catch-all term "manufacture of plastic products" hides injection molders for automotive precision parts, film and profile extruders, blow molders for hollow bodies, thermoformers for packaging, and compounders who first prepare the plastics. Anyone selling machines, tools, drying technology, additives, or software into this market fails at the first hurdle with classic address databases: they cannot distinguish process and material.
Why process and material decide everything
An injection molder with 50 Arburg and Engel machines needs something completely different from a film extruder or a compounder with Coperion twin screws. Someone running technical thermoplastics has different requirements for drying and tooling than someone processing glass-fiber-reinforced PA66 or high-performance polymers like PEEK. Through semantic deep content profiling, Kodo Leads reads the real website content, product pages, and PDF data sheets and recognizes both the process and the processed material — the two dimensions that truly determine your need.
The machine park as an early indicator
When a firm names equipment from KraussMaffei, Battenfeld, or Coperion on its website, that reveals a lot about clamping-force class, investment capacity, and technological level. Kodo extracts such manufacturer and equipment mentions and uses them to estimate the machine park. This lets you prioritize plants whose technical setup matches your offer — and skip those too small or technologically too far removed.
Recyclate and sustainability as an acute buying window
The EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR), binding recyclate quotas, and PCR requirements from major brand owners force processors to reconfigure their material streams. Whoever switches from virgin material to rPET or post-consumer recyclate needs new compounding, sorting, washing, and drying technology — and now. Kodo's recyclate and sustainability radar detects corresponding announcements in news and press, turning an abstract regulation into a concrete, time-bound lead.
Capex signals and a source for every lead
The strongest lever remains live buyer signals: a new molding hall, added machines, a grant approval, or a reshoring decision mark the window in which budget moves. Kodo extracts these capex signals and enriches them with commercial-register depth — managing directors, shareholder structure, capital increases. Every lead comes with a verifiable source: the cited press release, the detected machine, the register entry. Your sales team instantly sees the hook, all GDPR-compliant on European infrastructure, without US data brokers.
Which approach fits whom
Machine builders for injection molding filter by detected equipment plus capex signals. Vendors of compounding and recycling technology go via the recyclate radar plus material tags. Tool and additive manufacturers hit the mark via material profiles (technical thermoplastics, glass-fiber-reinforced, high-performance polymers). Instead of an unfiltered list of "plastics firms," Kodo delivers a fully researched, prioritized selection — and your sales team simply works the hot leads instead of doing the research itself.
