Ticona: High-tech plastics act as growth drivers
Ticona will showcase its extensive portfolio of high-performance polymers at Chinaplas in Shanghai from April 17 to 20, 2008 (Booth W2A31). The polymer manufacturer is establishing a strong presence in Asia with the construction of its own production facilities, a development center and further local offices.
“Through targeted investment and our expertise in regional markets, materials technology and processing, we are not only able to offer the right materials but can also help develop value-adding solutions in collaboration with customers and processors,” explained Sandra Beach Lin, President of Ticona, in the run-up to Chinaplas. “In this process, we can apply the global experience we have gained over many years to specific developments for our customers.”
Long-term investments in Asia
Ticona is globally active on behalf of renowned original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier suppliers in the Americas and Europe. The company has concrete plans for more than 70 sales, marketing and development resources throughout Asia, with 10 offices in China alone. In 2008/2009, the new production facilities for Celstran® (LFT) long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and GUR® ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE), a compounding unit in Nanjing and a Customer Application Development Center in Shanghai will be completed. In addition, the company is already planning to build production facilities for Vectra® (LCP) liquid crystal polymer and Celcon®/Hostaform® polyoxymethylene (POM).
