MOSCOW (MRC) -- Nexeo Solutions and DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, have announced their agreement to extend and further develop their existing partnership, as per GV.
Both organisations plan to target to expand to Switzerland and Hungary offering DSM’s product range, including polyamides, PBT, PET and DSM’s thermoplastic copolyester under the brand name Arnitel.
Other areas of interest within the extended geography agreement between the two companies are Romania and Bulgaria. Plans to expand to these regions are said to start later in 2016.
As MRC informed before, in December 2015, Royal DSM announced that it had expanded its distribution capability through strategic partners Nexeo Solutions, Resinex and Ter Plastics Polymer Group to cover the entire EMEA region. As of January 1, 2016, DSM’s engineering plastics portfolio started to be available to customers throughout the EMEA region.
Besides, earlier, in 2013, Royal DSM signed a partnership agreement with long fibre thermoplastic (LFT) specialist Plasticomp (Winona, Minnesota/USA) to develop bio-based LFT composite materials based on DSM’s "EcoPaXX" polyamide 4.10. The lightweight materials, which include compounds reinforced with glass fiber as well as carbon fiber, will be targeted at automotive and other performance-driven markets.
