FORMULATED FOR INNOVATION After almost half a century in the business , Poliblend , which rightly defines itself as a company “ formulated for innovation ”, has gained a wealth of diversified experience while working for numerous sectors ( from automotive to E & E , from interior design to medical devices , hobby & sports ...) which has in turn increased its flexibility and responsiveness in providing the market with reliable and tailor-made solutions for the benefit of customers – even in the most demanding applications and in every respect – starting from additives , fillers , properties etc . The confidence deriving from the company skills
in polymerisation and the continuous inflow of supplies from the Ascend group represents another strength . In Mozzate there is also the new Ascend Performance Center , created specifically for organising face-to-face and remote conferences , negotiations , demonstrations and corporate events in Europe : a perfect location for bringing together different ideas and cultures . The new center offers a meeting point between the offices in Houston and Mozzate in order to verify the validity of products and services of both companies , including advice and after-sale support .
ON-GOING INVESTMENTS All this has led to turnover and production figures exceeding 120 million euros and 50,000 tons of materials per year , respectively . These results are also due to constant investments in the acquisition of new skills and plants , such as the new extrusion lines complete with automation systems dedicated to the production of innovative compounds for the European market , developed by Ascend on the basis of targeted studies in collaboration with important customers or aimed directly at the needs of end users , taking into account the use of particular additives and masterbatches .
