Profi le: Resin (Products & Technology) was founded in 2005 as a management buyout from the compounding operations of Hartman Group, a leading producer of garden furniture. In June 2013, Resin added a new GMP-certifi ed plant at Enschede, adding two compounding lines and doubling capacity to around 50,000 tonnes, primarily to support its acquisition of DSM’s Yparex grafted polyolefi ns business. At present, the company is investing in new compounding operations in Indonesia and the UAE. Production in these locations is scheduled to commence in 2015.
Product line: Initially, Resin started as a toll manufacturer, but over the years it has developed its own product portfolio. Polyolefi n based compounds account for 95% of the company’s output. It also performs reactive extrusion. The product groups subdivide into performance materials (construction, automotive), halogen-free fl ame retardant compounds (construction), low-environmental-impact compounds (PVC substitutes) and tie-layer compounds for Yparex (adhesive resins for multilayer applications in packaging, pipes and metal coating).
Product strengths: The company focuses on product and process innovation, driven by customer- focused application development, and cost reduction via material re-engineering.
