Harvest Polymers and Grupo Repol announce Agent & Distribution Agreement UK & Ireland
Grupo Repol SL of Castellon Spain have announced an exclusive agreement to join forces with specialist distributor Harvest Polymers Ltd of Churt Surrey for marketing their Dinalon and Ecoamid Polyamide compounds in the UK and Ireland.
Well known now as the distributor of first choice for Thermoplastic Elastomers, Managing Director Huw Radley said,
“In our efforts to continue to provide additional value our customers we sought to add a range of polyamide compounds that would compliment our extensive TPE portfolio. The Dinalon range is both extremely versatile and manufactured to exacting standards. Not only do Repol have ISO 9002, but also were the first engineering plastics company in Spain to be awarded the ISO14001 registration for environmental compliance, which demonstrates Repol’s strong dedication to operational excellence.”
The Dinalon range based on PA6 and PA66 or PA blends is extremely comprehensive and more important in today’s rapidly changing market conditions, products may be customised to specific application and service requirements. The Repol technology team enjoys over 25 years formulation and manufacturing experience in polyamide compounds, with special emphasis on precise colour matching and optimum surface finish.
Dinalon is known in Spain as “the intelligent polyamide” largely because of its success in demanding automotive and electrical applications. Glass fibre (including hydrolysis resistant) and glass sphere grades are offered in several formulations. High impact grades and flame retardant types are also available.
Olivier Demongeot Export Manager of Grupo Repol said,
“In selecting Harvest Polymers to represent us in the UK and Ireland, we have a small but highly experienced team that is able to transfer our material technology to practical advantage at the processing interface. We believe that UK processors will recognise the same advantages that have made Dinalon so successful in the Spanish and continental markets”.
Dinalon is complimented by the Ecoamid polyamide compound range, which provides even greater cost savings for slightly less exacting specifications.
A local stock of typical Dinalon and Ecoamid grades is available for next day delivery from Harvest Polymers’ UK warehouse.
The Repol portfolio will presented in detail at the forthcoming Birmingham Interplas exhibition on Stand 3240A.
