Where we come from
The story of PMI begins with a long-cherished dream of developing an artificial skin replacement and a person who would not be dissuaded from his goal. Professor Dr. Heinrich Planck would have preferred to study medicine, but chose mechanical engineering for the sake of his father. He devoted himself to the subject close to his heart as early as his diploma thesis, which dealt with a bionically-optimized vascular prosthesis. His 30 years experience in developing synthetic biomaterials were the basis of making the dream of a synthetic skin substitute come true.
SUPRATHEL®, invented by a team of five scientists under the direction of Prof. Planck, revolutionized burn care and brought PMI to life. The result of this effort has become an internationally active company. The concept behind SUPRATHEL® laid the foundation for further product innovations that have the potential to herald a paradigm shift in wound care, starting with SUPRA SDRM®.
Environmental sustainability
KLIMAfit certification
Our goal is to make our production climate-neutral by 2030. We have already implemented several initiatives to achieve this goal. We are proud to have received certification in the KLIMAfit programme.
Efficient facilities
Our new headquarters achieves a 45% energy reduction compared to a standard building, utilizing geothermal energy, heat pumps, and optimized windows and shades for temperature control.
Recycled materials
Recycled cement was used for the construction of our new company headquarters.
Efficient technology
We use highly energy efficient clean room technology.
Waste recycling
We recycle 98% of our waste materials.
Biodegradability
The polymer metabolizes into CO2 and H2O, leaving no toxic substances behind.
Management board
Professor Dr. Heinrich Planck and his son Christian Planck jointly manage the business of PMI as Managing Partners. Prof. Planck, long-time holder of the Chair of Textile Technology at the University of Stuttgart and member of the Board of Managing Directors for the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF), founded PMI together with five scientists in 2001. Christian has been with the company since 2014 and has driven the global expansion of PMI.
