Summary
Markus Schanz is a seasoned plastics industry executive with over 35 years of hands-on expertise across polymers, engineering plastics, TPE/TPU and regranulation processes. As Managing Partner of PRO-plast Kunststoff GmbH and PRO-plast X-Trade GmbH since 2005, he combines technical depth in materials science with B2B sales, strategy and commercialization experience. He built his career from apprenticeship and scientific work to leading product reprocessing initiatives that market tested regranulates and proprietary TT‑Compounds®, marrying profitability with environmental benefit. Markus is particularly strong at translating complex polymer properties into repeatable, high-tech offerings for industrial clients. Based in Hesse, Germany, he holds a Master of Engineering in Plastics Engineering from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, which underpins his practical and strategic leadership.
