The stabilization of wood in the puq process was developed in 2002 by my father Reiner Hochmuth. In this process, we produce a versatile hybrid material that has been used and appreciated in the knife-making, jewelry, and sports industry for over 20 years. The hardening and dyeing of natural wood with acrylic glass provides you with a sustainable, durable, and non-toxic alternative to tropical hardwoods and can be fully customized to your and your customers' needs. This special material is not only beautiful but also offers all the common advantages of wood stabilization. Since 2017, I have taken over the management of the business and continued my father's successful work.

(Poly) methyl methacrylate was developed by Otto Röhm in 1902 and is characterized by excellent biocompatibility. Originally used in the dental industry, the first clinical application of PMMA in 1938 was the repair of skull defects in monkeys. In the 1940s, surgeons began using PMMA for reconstructive surgery in humans. The companies Degussa and Kulzer established a process for the chemical production of PMMA bone cement with tertiary aromatic amines, which still exists today. The Judet brothers were the first to use PMMA to manufacture a hip prosthesis in 1949. Sir John Charnley successfully fixed an intramedullary stem prosthesis with self-polymerizing PMMA bone cement in 1958. It is still the most commonly used material for fixing joint prostheses. PMMA has proven to be a versatile and durable biomaterial in orthopedics, spine, and oncological surgery.
