'Close to the customer' - this is the slogan being used by ALBIS PLASTIC GmbH, the global specialist in distribution and compounding of technical thermoplastics, headquartered in Hamburg. This guiding company principle will be center stage at Fakuma, one of the leading trade shows for plastics processing and technology. At no other show has ALBIS conducted as many customer discussions in an intimate atmosphere as here. This year, Fakuma is the most important industry event for the company.
Philip O. Krahn, CEO at ALBIS PLASTIC, reveals the topics that will center stage for ALBIS.
"On the one hand, we will be showcasing our most recent product developments and industry-specific application examples to visitors and, on the other hand, we will be advising customers on current projects and seizing this ideal opportunity to initiate new projects. An intensive exchange with customers and business partners really helps in the development and innovation of products, applications and technologies", says Mr. Krahn. "Our new, freshly designed website will be ready to launch just in time for Fakuma, and will supply useful information about products, applications and services."
ALBIS works closely with the leading plastics producers, offering a wide range of well-known brands that enjoy a very high level of market acceptance and rely on long-term partnerships. The company is continuously expanding its product portfolio and its sphere of activity.
Recently, INEOS Styrolution granted ALBIS the distribution rights for K-Resin in Europe. The company is also in the process of increasing its presence in the Balkans. In addition to the existing successful businesses in Slovenia, ALBIS has also identified similar demand in Croatia and Serbia, both rapidly growing markets, and is planning to increase their sales presence there.
As for further expanding, the company has founded a foreign subsidiary in Italy. In August ALBIS launched a new production plant in Duncan, America.
In addition to Italy and the USA, the company has also invested in more machinery at the production site in Great Britain and thus increased their production capacity.
