"PolyMX is a polyurethane production company that listens to the market. That's the core of our existence” - Cees van Golverdingen, founder of the family business PolyMX
The family business PolyMX was founded in 2000 by Cees van Golverdingen, a man with a background in the world of bonding. Cees started his search for an alternative to rubber when he concluded that the bonding of rubber did not yield the desired result. He found the solution in the synthetic material Polyurethane.
With the start of PolyMX, formerly Euromat 2000, a polyurethane production company was created with the goal of creating protective material with good adhesive bonding to any desired material. Protective material adapted to the specific wishes and application of the customer. With this, Cees created the alternative to rubber protection products.
Nowadays, rubber is the forbidden word within PolyMX. This is because the success of our products today is based on the quality of the material and the possibilities to adapt the material to the wishes of the customer. It may have the elasticity of rubber, but every PolyMX product is everything rubber is not, wear-resistant and durable.
The material is equivalent to the values of our company: quality and luxurious. The focus on these crucial points is something that Melissa Monster-van Golverdingen introduced as a priority in 2018 when she took over from her father as general manager of PolyMX after already working in the family business for 16 years.
Under Melissa's leadership, PolyMX has focused on continuing to improve the material and develop new products for and with the customer. This mentality makes her partly responsible for the success of CITO Polytop.
In 2017, the company CITO-SYTEM GmbH became co-owner of PolyMX.
Thanks to the product CITO Polytop, formerly Polytop MX, PolyMX has grown into an internationally operating organization. Because we have always remained a small-scale family business, with the production of polyurethane products at its core, a partnership with CITO was the most logical next step. This allows us to maintain the focus on polyurethane production.
CITO has a worldwide sales network and many years of experience in the diecutting industry, which is a deserved step forward for an innovative product such as CITO Polytop.
Koen van Leeuwen and Wendy Krabbendam both took over from Melissa in 2024 and now form the new management team of PolyMX. Both are an intrinsic part of the PolyMX family. Their goal is to preserve and strengthen PolyMX's unique family feeling!
With his background in chemistry and passion for innovation, combined with his experience as a production manager, Koen continues to take manufacturing to new heights. Wendy, with her financial expertise, ensures stability and focuses on the health and further growth of the company.
Together, Koen and Wendy form a complementary duo securing the top quality and personal attention that make PolyMX so special.
