Szatunaplex Kft. was established in 1998 as a result of the privatisation of a significant chemical company's Plexiglas manufacturing facility. The air deflector producer Szatuna Kft., who was the product's biggest customer at the time, bought it primarily to satisfy its own raw material requirements. The factory, the only one in Hungary, has been making moulded plexiglass sheets since the 1960s. However, this smaller plant was treated like a "stepchild" by the big chemical sector, getting little support and resources for growth.

The "rut little duck" can develop and stand on its own two feet, though, and it soon became apparent in the hands of a new owner. The demanding owner isn't the only one.
