Distrupol displays materials, applications and knowledge portfolio at Scanplast
“Knowledge that delivers” is the theme of Distrupol’s presentation at Scanplast 2003, stand C03.22.
A member company of Univar and leading polymer distributor, technical service and solutions provider, Distrupol is demonstrating the company’s knowledge, experience and commitment to market leadership in polymer distribution and its capability to supply the right plastics material for every application.
A range of applications now in commercial production –from manufacturers across the Nordic markets– demonstrates the result of technical development programs in which Distrupol’s knowledge and materials expertise has played a major role. The applications represent a further continuation of the success story enjoyed by plastics in their replacement of traditional materials in the automotive, whitegoods, electrical and electronic applications, packaging, consumer durable and construction markets.
“Distrupol is now the complete plastics material supplier,” emphasises Thomas Andersson, commercial director, Distrupol Nordic. “And our new image, which will be displayed for the first time at Scanplast, complements the importance we place on supporting our customers’ product developments and supplying them with the most suitable polymer from our comprehensive range”
Since combining its former business with that of MBS Plastics in 2001, Distrupol has consolidated its market leadership position in the Nordic region. The company’s materials portfolio ranges from the low and high density polyethylenes of Exxon and the polypropylene grades of Basell, through Solvay’s PVC compounds, Lucite International’s acrylics, Toray ABS, Nova PS BP PS, DSM Elastomers TPV and the ABS/ASA/SAN family of LG Chemicals, to the full range of engineering polymers supplied by DuPont, plus Solvay’s specialist fluoropolymers. “We really do supply the whole range of plastics materials,” Andersson confirms, “and the Distrupol Nordic stand emphasises our complete capability.”
Scanplast is the most important plastics event for the Nordic countries and Distrupol will have a full complement of staff, from its regional sales and technical support opertions in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, on its stand for the duration of the exhibition.
Further support will be provided during the fair by technical sales personnel from the DuPont Engineering Polymers, who will be sharing the Distrupol stand at this years ScanPlast.
