Our Company History
In 1925, Christian Maier established a metal foundry in Heidenheim an der Brenz, in which his son Friedrich later also worked.
Betting on the future of the glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) material gradually emerging in Germany in the 1950s, Christian and Friedrich Maier founded C.F. Maier in 1964 – the first plastics company in what would later become a company group. The company headquarters are in Königsbronn, and they process fiber composite plastics. The company’s name consists of the initials of the first names and the surname of its founders.
1987 saw the birth of C.F. Maier Polymertechnik. New plastics and processes were making inroads. In the same year, C.F. Maier purchased the SCA brand and began the production of high roofs, pop-up roofs, and lifting roofs for mobile homes.
To support the continuous growth of the company, a new location was opened in Schillingsfürst in 1991: C.F. Maier Polymertechnik moved. In 1999 the factory was also expanded.
In 1988, the first C.F. Maier foreign company was founded in Tunisia called Industrie Tuniso-Allemande du Plastique (ITAP). Other foreign companies soon follow: 1990 - C.F. Maier Composites in Colorado, 1996 - C.F. Maier Polimer Teknik in Turkey, and 2002 - C.F. Maier Polimer Technikai in Hungary.
To improve the organization and coordination of orders, the C.F. Maier Europlast was founded in 2000. This acts as a development and sales company, so that the synthetic resin company in Königsbronn, the polymer technology company in Schillingsfürst, ITAP, and later the foreign companies in Turkey and Hungary can all serve as pure production facilities.
In 2008, carbon fiber reinforced synthetic resins (CFRP) were processed for the first time in the Königsbronn synthetic resin company.
SCA Service GmbH & Co KG was founded in 2020. With SCA-Service, for the first time, high and pop-up roofs are sold not only to camper van providers, but also to end customers. The camping product range was expanded.
The C.F. Maier Polymertechnik factory in Schillingsfürst was expanded again in 2021.
