In August of 1995, the first issue of Plastics No.One, a magazine for plastics processing industry professionals, saw the light of day. Fritz Vollmer and Günter Merkel were the ancestors of the project This delicate young shoot of a new idea has soon become the reputable trade magazine in German and English named EXTRUSION, as we know it today. The modern magazine focuses on the European reader who is familiar with it. In 1997, at will of readers and advertisers, World of Plastics Asia magazine in Mandarin and English appeared (today known as EXTRUSION Asia Edition). In 2004, it was followed by EXTRUSION Russian Edition, a Russian-language version of EXTRUSION magazine. EXTRUSION Russia is read today in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Central Asia. Since 2014, EXTRUSION International magazine in English is available for the readers and advertisers. At large trade shows, a print version of Extrusion International is proposed as well. Since 2019 we have been publishing EXTRUSION International USA (digital edition only). This is a version of our magazine Extrusion International supplemented for USA readership.

In 2016, the dedicated Smart_Extrusion web portal went online. In addition to online versions of our magazines, the portal collects and publishes news, articles, case studies, and videos on extrusion from around the world. All the information is given in German, English, Russian, and Chinese conveniently grouped by sub-topics (tags). The subscribers get the updates in weekly e-mail newsletters.
