Our history

1992

Company founded by Franz Seiwald
After many years of service and intensively gathering experience in an international company which processed plastics, Franz Seiwald decided to set up his own company in 1992. His philosophy has continued to this day, that is, to optimally meet the needs of customers, implement specific ideas and design and as a result, tap into new markets.

1992 to 2013

Extensive accumulation of experience in PTFE
Over the course of these past two decades, Franz Seiwald and his employees have amassed even greater expertise in the manufacture of sealing solutions and in the possible application of high-performance plastics. A wealth of experience that has to date been essential in all the recent achievements within the business.

2013

Werner Krepper joins the company
An important milestone for the company was the arrival of PTFE specialist Werner Krepper in 2013. He brought in tremendously useful knowledge about semi-finished components and high-quality sealing materials, which meant that the product range was able to be considerably expanded.

2014 to 2016

Expansion, change of generations & changing the company name to Technophyon
Due to an increase in assignments, an expansion of the production and storage capacities was required. A new, attractive location was found in Hochfilzen. With the reconstruction of the company building, Franz Seiwald's daughter Cornelia took over management of the company. As part of this change in generations, she also change the company name to 'Technophyon'.

2017

ISO certification - ISO 9001
A very important and absolutely necessary standard – ISO certification: ISO 9001, since May 2017. This officially denotes the high quality of our products and is of course evidence of our endeavours to continually improve and to work to the highest standards.

2022

New website and 4-day week
To herald the 4th decade of our company, we created a new website that provides extensive insights into what we do. Since we simply like being 'ahead of the times', we also decided to introduce a 4-day week and shut our doors on Fridays. This enables our employees to be able t have better control on that balancing act between their professional and private lives.
