This acquisition , coupled with our new compounding facility in China , will allow us to serve our customers locally around the globe . We now have production , product development and testing capabilities in North America , Asia and Europe , giving us additional scale to respond to our customers . Furthermore , a product developed for a customer in Europe can be quickly replicated and produced across the globe to meet shifting supply chain needs .”
COMPLEMENTARY FACTORS “ When we look at the range of Ascend and Poliblend products , John Saunders , Ascend ’ s vice president for Europe notes , “ I see a lot of complementary factors with few overlaps . Poliblend operates in sectors where Ascend does not have a presence : the abilities of two companies complement with each other and for this reason , great opportunities for growth exist . Poliblend and Esseti Plast complement our current business exceptionally well . Our experience as a large-scale , fully integrated polyamide 66 manufacturer coupled with Poliblend ’ s portfolio of recycled and virgin PA66 , PA6 and POM , and Esseti Plast ’ s extensive masterbatch operations will offer our customers more choices for quality , high performance materials on a global scale .”
