TER Plastics Polymers
TER Plastics Polymer Group is excited to discuss the company's evolution and successes of the past year at Fakuma.
In April, the Herne-headquartered organisation took over the majority of Polish Polimarky Performance Polymers in Rogoznica. The new TER Plastics subsidiary was subsequently renamed TEREZ Performance Polymers.
High performance compounds and thermoplastics are manufactured at the new location using state-of-the-art extrusion lines, where at the south-east Poland facility, the team has access to excellent traffic connections to the rest of Europe. It is equipped with Berstorff extrusion lines of the latest design with a capacity of 25,000 tonnes per year for all lot sizes. Furthermore, both a fully-equipped development centre and a colour centre are integrated into the recently completed large industrial building. The research and development work at the TEREZ site benefits greatly from its proximity to the local university and technical institutes, where engineers and chemists in polymer science and process engineering, as well as in other relevant subjects, are trained. Application development as well as sales and distribution continue to be headquartered in Herne.
Managing Director Dr Wolf Koehler said of the amicable takeover: "With our own production subsidiary we can now expand our position as a development partner to our customers."
With some 130 employees, the company expects sales revenues of €150 million in 2014. For the current year the acquisition and integration of the new compounding subsidiary is only a first step on the way to a very successful 2014.
