e-epoxy.com expands supply options for epoxy buyers in China

10-Jul-2003

e-epoxy.com, the first and only e-commerce site designed exclusively for the epoxy industry, is now available to customers in the world's largest market - The People's Republic of China. e-epoxy.com, now in its third year of operation, is already offering epoxies and related products for on-line purchase and delivery in North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Central Europe, The Middle East, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

e-epoxy.com will now offer several of the highest volume epoxy resins manufactured by The Dow Chemical Company to the China market. Dow products for sale on e-epoxy.com will come from its new Converted Epoxy Resins plant in Zhangjiagang, China that became fully operational in May 2003.

"This move strengthens our position in Asia - it helps us grow in one of our key markets," says John Everett, e-epoxy.com global leader. "However, what's especially significant about the site's expansion is how it will help Chinese epoxy buyers in their key markets. Epoxy buyers, and those in China are no different, are always looking for ways to streamline their purchasing procedures and lower their transactional costs. With e-epoxy.com's debut in China, the good news for Chinese epoxy buyers is that they now have a way to achieve those goals and, in turn, gain an edge in the extremely competitive marketplace in which they must operate.

"e-epoxy.com is designed for customers looking for a fast, straightforward way to spot buy," explains Everett. The site gives purchasers 24-hour access to an online marketplace in which all purchasing decisions can be made online, reducing procurement time and expenses. The site is designed for those customers who can work with straightforward business terms and conditions, such as ordering in fixed quantities, on fixed payment terms, and paying penalties for order changes and cancellations. The complete business terms and conditions are available on e-epoxy.com in nine languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

e-epoxy.com plans to enter the Chinese marketplace with help from epoxy-e.com, China's leading Internet source for epoxy information and news. The information portal is owned and operated by Mr. Zhu Wei, who has extensive experience within the Chinese epoxy industry.

"The key beneficiaries of this alliance are the companies who are looking for an easy, more efficient and economical way to buy," says Everett. "The significant community of users who have come to rely upon epoxy-e.com for epoxy industry information will now be only a click-of-the-mouse away from discovering the savings in time and money that they could potentially realize through e-epoxy.com. This is an exciting venture because we are essentially creating a new epoxy marketplace in China."

Since e-epoxy.com's launch in 2001, the site's steadily growing base of customers has purchased products across three major industries: coatings and adhesives, composites, and food and pharmaceutical ingredients (users of synthetic glycerine).

Customers from across the globe can link from the e-epoxy.com homepage to the products available in their specific region. As part of the site's expansion to China, e-epoxy.com now features text and navigation in the Chinese language. Product pricing is regularly updated, and prices are listed in Yuan (RMB).
