Expanded compounding activities: Polymer Group aims for the 200,000 tonnes mark
Based on its record of continuous growth, the Polymer Group s aiming for an overall compounding volume of 200,000 MT/a for the first time ever in 2009
The Polymer Group continues to expand its role in the European compounding market. Based on an expected compounding volume of 180,000 tonnes in 2008, it now plans to reach the 200,000 tonnes mark in 2009 for the first time in its history. Reflected in this output are the joint efforts of the parent company, Polymer-Chemie, and its subsidiaries TechnoCompound and Sun alloys Europe, which together with the third subsidiary, Polymer-Tec Halbzeuge, employ about 500 people at the Bad Sobernheim headquarters site. Here the group now intends to erect a new logistics Centre, to be operational in the beginning of 2009, comprising a 10,000 m² high-bay rack storage facility to cope with the disproportionate growth of its bag, octabin and big bag business, on top of silo product sales.
