As an independent, family-run trading company, we have been distributing engineering plastics from a wide range of manufacturers to companies in the target markets of injection molding and extrusion since 1988. Aside from engineering plastics, we offer the whole range from commodity plastics to high performance plastics.
In 2007 we became an official distributor of SABIC Innovative Plastics, therefore we can supply the entire SABIC IP product range.
