LANXESS: New distributor for engineering plastics in the Benelux countries
Cologne - The High Performance Materials (HPM) business unit of the specialty chemicals company LANXESS, a manufacturer of engineering plastics based on polyamide and PBT, has been working since September 2019 with Picoplast BV as a new distributor for Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Lanxess is hoping that this partnership will strengthen its market profile in these countries.
Picoplast BV is a specialist for premium-quality engineering plastics and has its own in-house technical service department. The owner-operated company has been operating for over 30 years and is well-placed strategically near Maastricht to supply the Benelux countries.
Dr. Rudolf Weber, Head of Sales EEMEA, Nordics and Distribution EMEA at HPM: "Picoplast is helping Lanxess to develop the profile of our engineering plastics Durethan and Pocan in the Benelux region. Its extensive experience in technical project development in particular is a good fit with our philosophy."
Hans Biesheuvel, Managing Director of Picoplast BV: "We are really looking forward to working in partnership with a forward-looking company such as Lanxess. It puts us in a position to offer a broad spectrum of engineering plastic compounds to key industries. Lanxess's high-performance materials and technologies enable us to implement innovative concepts with our customers in the Benelux countries."
