There's one thing we always have in common: your problem solved.
Welcome to the Triflex Family
As Europe’s leading specialist in PMMAFlüssigkunststoffe , we’ve learned one thing over the past 40 years: Having an outstanding product isn’t enough to solve problems for the long term. As a family-owned business, we take a completely different approach: We always solve problems together. Everyone always benefits from our unique collaboration between you as a skilled tradesperson, the planners, our employees, and, of course, our products. We do and give our all to make this happen. You can always count on that! Welcome to the Triflex family.
As a chemical company, we are fully aware of our special responsibility toward the environment and our fellow human beings. Sustainability is therefore one of our guiding principles. Only the responsible use of natural resources for the benefit of future generations can ensure our long-term business success. For this reason, our commitment to sustainability goes far beyond mere compliance with legal requirements.
Two Application Areas—One System Concept
An Overview of Our Areas of Application
Requirements for structures and adjacent areas rarely arise in isolation. Triflex develops solutions that span different areas and offers coordinated systems for structures, traffic areas, and functional spaces. Depending on the project, the focus may be on specific applications, but always with a holistic view of the site.
Time-Tested Values – Innovation with a Vision
From Our Roots to the Future
The Foundation: Entrepreneurial Spirit and Chemical Expertise
Triflex’s origins date back to the Cordes company, which was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Building on this foundation, the Follmann family continuously developed the company’s chemical expertise. With the reestablishment of Follmann & Co. in 1977, a successful supplier of specialty chemical products emerged. Drawing on this long-standing experience and entrepreneurial spirit of innovation, the Triflex brand was first created. The subsequent formation of the Follmann Group brought the family’s companies together under one roof.
Innovation as a Driving Force
From the very beginning, the company’s mission has been to address technical challenges with high-performance, practical solutions. The introduction of fast-curing PMMA resins represented a significant step forward in innovation. This technology continues to shape Triflex to this day and enables durable, safe, and cost-effective systems for a wide variety of applications.
The first European Technical Approval (ETA) with CE marking for liquid-applied waterproofing underscored the company’s high quality standards and set new benchmarks for certified safety in the European market.
From Regional Supplier to International Partner
From its beginnings in Minden, Triflex has evolved into an internationally active company. The consistent expansion of sales and production structures, combined with proximity to customers and markets, laid the foundation for sustainable growth. Today, Triflex operates worldwide and supports building owners, designers, applicators, and operators with customized solutions for the protection and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.
Shaping the Future Together
Innovation, a commitment to quality, and collaborative partnerships continue to shape Triflex’s approach to this day. They form the foundation of the company’s success and build trust among customers, partners, and employees worldwide.
The demands placed on buildings and infrastructure are constantly changing. Triflex meets these challenges with solutions that combine protection, safety, and durability.
Our vision is to set global standards and actively help shape the future of construction and preservation—through innovative technologies, responsible business practices, and a commitment to making buildings and infrastructure more sustainable, safer, and more resilient for future generations.

Technology and Knowledge Center (TWZ)
The Follmann Group’s Technology and Knowledge Center (TWZ) in Minden is a space for ideas, exchange, and innovation. Since April 2022, the TWZ has been an integral part of the company’s headquarters in Minden, and with approximately 3,500 m² of usable floor space, it offers ideal conditions for a wide range of formats and applications.
This is where development and practical application come together: products are tested, knowledge is shared, and experiences are exchanged—through direct dialogue between experts, users, and customers.
Whether it’s a training session, symposium, or hands-on workshop—the TWZ serves as a platform and meeting place for everyone who wants to work with us to shape solutions for today and tomorrow.

Investing in the Future
To ensure that quality, sustainability, services, and the latest technological standards remain at the highest level, we make significant investments. With an investment ratio of more than 10 percent of revenue in recent years, we are sending a clear signal—especially at our German locations. The construction of the new construction chemicals production facility at our Minden site (2017) and the opening and commissioning of the South Warehouse (2018) are just a few examples of this.
