call for startups & co-innovators

do you have an idea to make the plastic industry fit for the future and to transform our economy into a circular economy?

then get in touch with us now.

This year, our focus is on the topic of Circular Futures. We are looking for sustainable materials, recycling technologies, and digital technologies and business models that connect players along the value chain to make material flows and product information transparent. By supporting solutions that help to close the loop plastic waste can be eliminated in the future.

In addition to the material specific focus, port F opens the gates for ideas that have synergy potential with the current business areas of the group. The Feddersen Group has been internationally successful in many areas along the value chain for decades. These include mechanical & plant engineering, product & component development as well as plastics production and distribution. The challenges of the industry are known to be complex and include, for example, the availability of resources but also the use of new technologies for digital transformation.

We want to achieve
together with you

Together with you we want to make a noticeable contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We are driven by the vision of a sustainable polymer industry. Together we will find out how this industry will look like in detail: Recyclates or bio-plastics? Better waste recycling, functioning closed-loop systems, reduction of the use of fossil raw materials through artificial intelligence? port F builds bridges between the tried and tested and the new.

feddersen group

With the internationally operating Feddersen Group, port F has a strong foundation. The group's core competencies lie in the development, production, and distribution of technical polymers, in mechanical engineering and development as well as in trading in machinery for polymer processing. Engineering services, wholesale, foreign trade in stainless steel and other raw materials and technical products are further important pillars of the group.

Today, the Feddersen Group still sees itself in the tradition of its founder as a family business, for which humanity in dealing with employees, customers and partners is important, which pursues long-term goals and attaches great importance to independence and robustness. At the same time, it is facing up to the many current and future challenges and, with port F, has founded a unit that can act completely independently of the core business.

feddersen foundation

The K.D. Feddersen Foundation was established by company founder Karl Detlef Feddersen out of a desire to give something back to society. The Foundation has been operating a retirement home in Hamburg since 1984. The work of the non-profit K.D. Feddersen Foundation is significantly supported by the dividends distributed by K.D. Feddersen Holding GmbH. In recent years, the residential complex has been expanded and comprehensively modernised in several construction phases.
