Fischer JETplast Hintergrundelement

For the perfect Surface

Fischer GmbH

FISCHER not only manufactures innovative blast media but also advises and supports its prominent customers regarding all aspects of the non-aggressive use of plastic blast media.

FISCHER carries out blasting tests according to customer specifications. These tests are carried out at FISCHER GmbH’s demonstration center. Potential customers can also rent pressure blasting systems for tests on their own premises or buy them at a reasonable price.

FISCHER responds promptly and flexibly to almost all requests and requirements, bringing its innovative ability to bear to provide the perfect solution. This applies to the development and use of our blast media as well as to our customer service – whenever a fast, straightforward solution is needed.
