news Resin/Yparex expand capabilities
Netherlands-based specialty resin compounder Resin (Products & Technology) and its sister company Yparex, which makes extrudable tie-layer resins, are to expand activities at their Dutch facility at Enschede and at a location in Indonesia. Space previously occupied in multiple
warehouses around Enschede has been consolidated into a single, new facility adjacent to the production operations, which opened in Q2 of this year. This stores finished goods under climate-control conditions prior to shipment. In addition, the quality testing
laboratory and the QA system both companies use have been upgraded with new equipment and can now conduct an expanded suite of analytics, as well as supporting R&D activities. The companies said this will mean enable product to be released to customers more quickly.

8 In Indonesia, Resin has formed a 50/50
joint venture with Polymindo Permata, a supplier of all-weather, flame-retardant wicker and thatch made from synthetic fibres. Based at Tangerang, near Jakarta, the PT Resindo Compounding Technologies joint venture began operation early in 2016. It is a speciality thermoplastic compound- ing operation making polyolefin-based compounds and composites for regional automotive, construction, packaging, and electrical appliance markets. “Although we’ve spent a considerable sum of money, that investment has already begun paying for itself in solid growth in our existing base and promises the ability to bring our unique suite of products to an even broader geographical and market offering,” said Resin managing director Frans Haafkens. ❙
