Indorama Ventures to Purchase INVISTA Spartanburg, S.C. and Queretaro, Mexico Polyester Businesses
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire PET polymer and resins manufacturing facilities located in Spartanburg, S.C. and Querétaro, Mexico from certain subsidiaries of INVISTA B.V.
“This planned acquisition will allow IVL to build upon our expanding global platform, make the company the largest PET producer in the world, and deliver on our strategy to enter into new higher growth regions like Central and Latin America”
The total value of the acquisition will be $420 million less certain assumed liabilities, and includes $229 million for the net fixed assets and equity interests, as well as $174 million for the net working capital of the business, subject to customary adjustments at closing. The transaction is expected to be financed from a combination of cash on hand, amounts available under existing credit facilities and additional debt. The parties anticipate the transaction will close in the first quarter of 2011, pending receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.
INVISTA’s Spartanburg, South Carolina facility produces polyester resins used in bottles for carbonated soft drinks, water, beer, juice, and wine; food and custom-container applications, and polyester staple fiber and specialty polymers for a variety of applications. The Spartanburg operation has a total capacity of 470 kMT per annum. Approximately 490 people are employed at the site.
INVISTA’s Querétaro, Mexico facility produces polyester resins and polyester staple similar to that produced at INVISTA’s Spartanburg operation. Querétaro has a total capacity of 535 kMT per annum. Approximately 510 people are employed at the site.
The combination positions Indorama Ventures as the world’s leading producer of PET and enables IVL to better meet its customers’ needs. In North America, the acquisition complements Indorama Ventures’ existing PET manufacturing site at Asheboro, N.C. (StarPET) and its state-of-the-art MTR PET Resin facility at Decatur, Alabama (AlphaPET). Additional benefits for IVL will include:
* Access to new customers and markets via Querétaro
* Entry into the U.S. specialty PET fibers market via Spartanburg
* Enhancement of research and development capabilities
* Benefit from integration with IVL’s existing facilities, including AlphaPET and StarPET
* Increased production flexibility
The transaction is expected to be accretive to IVL’s earnings in the first full year of acquisition (pre-synergies). Indorama Ventures believes that there is a further opportunity to create value for its shareholders through synergy capture.
“We believe INVISTA’s Spartanburg and Querétaro businesses complement Indorama Ventures’ existing U.S. business,” said Chris Hamman, president of INVISTA Polymer & Resins. “I want to extend thanks and appreciation to all INVISTA employees involved in our polymer and resins business for their dedication through this process, and for building a business that so capably delivers innovation and value to its customers.”
“This planned acquisition will allow IVL to build upon our expanding global platform, make the company the largest PET producer in the world, and deliver on our strategy to enter into new higher growth regions like Central and Latin America,” said Aloke Lohia, Group Chief Executive Officer of Indorama Ventures. “We believe these valuable assets will further strengthen our capability and reinforce our ongoing commitment to the PET and Fiber business. We are truly excited as such million ton opportunities are seldom available. Furthermore, INVISTA’s innovative products and a recognized brand will allow Indorama Ventures to enhance its value proposition to its customers and stakeholders, considering the depth of management and knowledge that reside at these facilities supporting manufacturing, R&D and Post Consumer Recycling (PCR),” added Mr. Lohia.
It is currently anticipated that essentially all of INVISTA’s Polymer & Resins’ operations, marketing, sales, customer service, and research and development staff associated with the Spartanburg and Querétaro operations will be employed by Indorama after the sale is finalized, along with INVISTA Polymer & Resins’ staff associated with that portion of the business based at administrative offices in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Santa Fe, Mexico.
INVISTA Polymer & Resins’ Wilmington, N.C. site is not a part of the transaction, nor is INVISTA’s European Polymer & Resins business, which includes manufacturing operations in Gersthofen, Germany. INVISTA will also retain certain intellectual property related to the polymer and resins business.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as exclusive financial advisor, Lowenstein Sandler PC acted as lead counsel, and Jáuregui Navarrete y Nader, S.C. served as Mexican counsel to IVL on this transaction. On behalf of INVISTA, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated acted as exclusive financial advisor and Latham & Watkins LLP acted as lead counsel.

Starlinger combine FMS technology and woven fabric
Starlinger combine FMS technology and woven fabric .To combine these two successful concepts - on the one hand, the FFS-filling technology for bulk solids, the other packing materials from woven fabric - this challenge Dow, Starlinger and Haver & Boecker have taken on together.
Woven fabric is a packaging material stretched plastic tape. Woven fabric bags are insensitive to pressure, fracture and buckling. Even if they are moved by hook or damaged by nails, they break not occur and the valuable content is in the bag. In addition, woven fabric, in comparison to conventional films very thin, making it easy, but is still robust and durable - and with low raw material consumption. What is more, that it is completely recyclable.
The FMS technology (Form, Fill & Seal - Form, Fill & Seal) is a fully-automated, cost-effective packaging method for powder, granules, flakes and many other bulk goods. On the filling machine are made of plastic film tube endless bags that are immediately filled with the product and then sealed. The top of the filled bag and the bottom of the next bag to be welded simultaneously. The great advantage of the FFS method is that the bags are closed by welding. FFS machines do not need needles (which can easily break) or yarn (must be actual power again and again). As a result, no thread groups mingle with the medium, and the bags are hermetically sealed, because there are no stitch holes.
To date, it was not possible to use tissue from plastic strips on FFS-filling. Through joint Abstrengungen it is now the first woven fabric that was produced on machinery from Starlinger-Dow pellets to use for FFS-filling of Haver & Boecker. The so-called "woven * FFS" technology is specifically aimed at bottling plants in the chemical industry and building material and food industries.
The advantages of woven sacks * FFS include:
Robust but lightweight packaging material
Protection of the packaged goods from all around the sealed, waterproof packaging
Thanks to the fully automatic FFS machines from Haver & Boecker, the control activities are limited to roles and format changes.
Optimized bags: constant monitoring of the bulk density, and adjust the bag length.
Clean blind surfaces and greater safety during transport due to compact filled bags.
The lower consumption of raw materials helps to save resources and money.
In the development of "woven * FFS" Dow, Starlinger and Haver & Boecker claims to have paid particular attention to making the switch from PET to PE woven fabric for the bottlers as easy as possible. Customers who already have FFS systems of Haver & Boecker, should have to make any major conversions. To take advantage of woven fabric, a few minor changes to the FFS system was needed - and simply using a different material roll.
Even companies that have processed so far, due to customer and market requirements, tissue and could therefore not use FFS bottling plants, will now have the opportunity to take advantage of this fully automatic, cost-packaging concept. The high production capacity of the facilities and the time and cost savings in operation and maintenance would mean that the investment pay off in this new system in a short time.
The new packaging concept is presented for the first time at K 2010.

Die plate with an external diameter of 1.5 m
Pelletizers and Melt Pumps for High Capacity Plants
Right on time for this year´s K show Coperion GmbH, formerly Werner & Pfleiderer, will be presenting new machine sizes in their UG underwater pelletizer and MP melt pump series for high capacity polyolefin compounding plants.
Underwater Pelletizers: Breaking the 100 t/h barrier
An eye catcher on the Coperion booth B33 in Hall 14 will be the die plate from a UG 1.250, the largest underwater pelletizer in the world. It boasts a range of superlatives: The average cutting diameter is 1250 mm and it can have up to 11,000 die holes. Manufacturing the die plate, its wear protection as well as the uniform distribution of the melt onto the cutting ring present particular challenges. The new UG 1.250 allows throughputs in excess of 100 t/h for polyethylene and water flow rates of up to 1,500 m³/h. The hydraulic control elements and the drive system are based on technology that has proven itself in long term operation on other machine sizes. The first UG 1.250 will go into operation soon. A slightly smaller but similarly constructed UG 925 for polypropylene has been in operation since the middle of 2009.
Coperion also builds exceptionally large underwater pelletizers for thermoplastic elastomers. An example of this is a UG 750 which will go into operation at the beginning of 2011. The design and method of operation reflect the fact that TPE pellets tend to be very sticky. The axial water flow along the knife shaft into the cutting chamber and the radial water flow along the pelletizing knives towards the water chamber exit minimize turbulences in the cutting chamber. This results in fewer collisions between the freshly cut, tacky pellets, which prevents agglomeration.
Melt Pumps for up to 65 t/h of Polyolefins
Coperion presented in-house manufactured melt pumps for the first time at K 2007. Following successful installation and trouble free operation, in various cases for more than three years, the next model size, the MP 450 melt pump, will achieve a target throughput of up to 65 t/h. An MP 450 melt pump is currently in the final stages of installation. When processing polypropylene it will cover a throughput range from 30 to 50 t/h. Two further melt pumps of the same type with throughputs between 40 and 50 t/h for polyethylene are close to delivery to the client.
Coperion uses a well proven design for their melt pumps: A pair of involute gears run on hydrodynamic plain bearings lubricated by the polymer melt. These components are built into the housing that is sealed to the outside on both sides by a cover containing a contact-free threaded shaft seal. The detailed process dependent design factors, for example the type of cooling and the size of the operating clearance, are calculated and specified for each project and product. The melt pumps have single or twin shaft drive options.

TPE makers facing a global shift to Asia
The world of thermoplastic elastomers is going through some pretty major changes.
“The shift to Asia is the single most important factor affecting TPEs in the current environment,” market analyst Bob Eller said at TPE Topcon, an industry event organized by the Society of Plastics Engineers, held Sept. 14-15 in Akron.
But Eller did not stop there.
“Some TPE markets are approaching maturity in Western markets,” he added. “They’re seeing commodity-like pricing and reduced customization, and that’s opening up the market for smaller companies and making a significant price challenge to established TPEs.
“We’re also seeing a split into commodity and specialty TPEs. That means there are opportunities for custom TPE compounders who are willing to tailor grades. Targeting higher-value applications like air-bag doors.”
Eller’s comments may not have been welcome news to North American TPE makers, who have long described their products as value-added specialty materials, residing far from the commodity realm.
On a more positive note, Eller — owner of Robert Eller Associates Inc. in Akron — also pointed out numerous growth opportunities for TPEs around the world. Vehicles in China, for example, use only 4.4 pounds of thermoplastic vulcanizate per vehicle, while India checks in even lower at 3.3 pounds. The global average is 5.7 pounds. New markets for TPVs and other types of TPEs include weatherstripping, hoses and belts and elastic fibers and films.
“We’ve seen the introduction of higher-performance [thermoplastic polyurethanes],” Eller said. “And an expanded range of [styrenic block copolymer] chemistry, with process technology allows for hard/soft combinations and foam/solid configurations.”
Moving forward, Eller said that new Asian TPE compounders may have an advatange over Western competitors, even if Western firms already have valuable automotive approvals. Automotive continues to hold a 35-40 percent share of the TPE market. U.S, automotive demand for TPEs is improving, but other regions of the world now have more growth prospects, he explained.
“Western companies need to go into Asia with specialties, not with a broad product line,” Eller said. “The global TPE life-cycle curve is changing in shape. It’s a substantially higher curve that’s more diverse, and with a higher number of compounders competing.”

Telles Customer Receives 2010 Greener Package Award
Telles™, the joint venture between Metabolix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBLX) and Archer Daniels Midland Company, announced that Ball Innovations, a business unit of Ball Horticultural Company, received a 2010 Greener Package Award for its SoilWrap® plantable container made with Mirel™ bioplastic. In addition, both Mirel and SoilWrap are listed on the USDA Biopreferred program, which designates biobased products that are preferred for purchase by Federal agencies and their contractors.
Made with Mirel, SoilWrap is a biobased, plantable, biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based plastic plant pots. In addition to eliminating waste, internal and commercial grower trials have shown that the superior drainage and gas exchange permitted by the bottomless SoilWrap design allows many species of plants to grow more quickly than in conventional pots. Mirel also provides a more durable container than other natural fiber pots and its physical properties allow it to be easily printed with brand messaging and UPC barcodes for attractive on-shelf appearance.
The second annual Greener Package Awards were sponsored by Summit Publishing’s GreenerPackage.com. The program aims to recognize the consumer packaged goods companies, suppliers and individuals that have helped move the packaging community toward greater sustainability throughout the year.
“SoilWrap is a prime example of a product that not only leverages Mirel’s ability to biodegrade in soil and also provides added convenience and value to the consumer,” said Robert Engle, Telles general manager. “We are thrilled to be recognized with our partner Ball for developing innovative packaging that meets a significant need in the horticulture market. Mirel-based bioplastics continue to be introduced across a number of industries, from packaging to consumer goods, to meet the growing demand for reducing packaging and waste sent to landfills.”
“We are in an industry that is by nature focused on the environment, so bringing a product to market that decreases waste and offers superior performance is a huge win for us,” said Greg Trabka, product development manager, Ball Horticultural Company. “When developing SoilWrap, Ball recognized the need for a bioplastic resin that responded to the issue of unnecessary waste, maintained its performance integrity through the production cycle to the retail shelf, and met environmental certification standards. Mirel was the only biobased, biodegradable offering that met all of our business needs and we look forward to growing our relationship with Telles on future product endeavors.”
Ball plans to increase SoilWrap distribution through its grower customers in North America and to independent garden centers and mass market retailers beginning in spring 2011. SoilWrap is available in a 3.5 inch design and the company plans to produce a 4.5 inch product.
SoilWrap and the rest of the 2010 class of Greener Package Award winners will be on display in the The Showcase of Packaging Innovations® at Pack Expo International 2010, taking place from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

Innovations in material handling increase flexibility, efficiency and ease of use
MANN+HUMMEL Pro Tec introduces further developments and expansions of its innovative systems for drying, conveying and dosing of free flowing plastics in hall 9, stand D60 in Düsseldorf. Single workplace solutions and solutions for complete factories offer great operating comfort and flexibility for stable, efficient and economic process management in extrusion, injection moulding, calendering or blow moulding.
Module dryer update – small load dryer for engineering plastics
The new generation of stationary material drying systems is presented at the K with the example of a SOMOS® D200 dry air dryer (air flow 200 m³/h) and a module hopper system with drying hoppers from 50 to 300 l. The technical innovations in design, process control and control engineering that are utilised here combine great operating comfort with a further improvement in energy efficiency. This results amongst other things in the new process control of the rotary desiccant container of the D dryer taking a much shorter time for regeneration of the drying agent, which means that the energy required for this can be used more effectively. At the same time all module hoppers have their own control system structured on a universal concept. This independent mode of operation makes things like the expansion of the module system through the adding on of one or several drying hoppers considerably easier. The tried and tested ALAV and Super-SOMOS® control mechanisms used in SOMOS® dryers continue to provide high energy efficiency adapted to the respective current material throughput.
The new SOMOS® TP 8 compressed air dryer extends the series of small load dryers specially designed for multi-component injection moulding in the processing of engineering plastics. With an insulated drying hopper of eight litres capacity and a freely selectable drying temperature from 60 to 180°C it is suitable for throughputs of up to approx. 2 kg/h. The dryer works on the principle of air expansion and can be fitted with conveyer equipment that is operated directly from the dryer control unit.
Communicating conveyer equipment – high-precision, gravimetric dosing of small amounts
The current SOMOS® FG series of suction conveying equipment differs from existing models particularly in its range of features: the devices are fitted with control units which can communicate with each other. There are also cost advantages with this further feature, as up to 16 conveyer units can now be flexibly linked together to a composite without the requirement of a central control.
Another innovation at the K is a fully weighing dosing system for small amounts which can be used in the SOMOS® Gramix S9 or Gramix E gravimetric dosing and mixing systems for the production of multi-component mixtures for extrusion processes. Designed for throughputs of approx. 2 kg/h down to 200 g/h, a dosing precision of ± 1 % is achieved. In a throughput of 200 g/h the target weight of approx. 3.3 g/min thus varies on average by a mere ± 33 mg. This high dosing precision has clear advantages in the increasingly used practice of dosing very small amounts of highly concentrated masterbatches into the main flow of material.

New ASTM Standard Covers Society of the Plastic Industry's Resin Identification Code
W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., -The Resin Identification Code (RIC) system is a means of sorting different types of plastics from household waste. The RIC was developed by the Society of the Plastics Industry in 1988. The RIC assigns a numeral from 1 to 7, with a "chasing arrows" symbol around the number, to a piece of plastic to indicate its type.
SPI recognized the importance of the involvement of the technical stakeholder community in updating and maintaining the RIC. In 2008, SPI approached ASTM about adopting the RIC system as an ASTM standard. RIC is now covered in a new ASTM International standard, ASTM D7611, Practice for Coding Plastic Manufactured Articles for Resin Identification. The new standard was developed by Subcommittee D20.95 on Recycled Plastics, part of ASTM International Committee D20 on Plastics.
"Since their beginnings in the mid-1800s, plastics have continued to evolve and new materials and applications have been developed to meet societal needs," said SPI President and CEO William Carteaux. "These innovations have continued since SPI developed the original Resin Identification Code more than 20 years ago and we fully support ASTM's work to involve more stakeholders and develop a new standard that modernizes the Code."
Thomas Pecorini, technology fellow, Eastman Chemical Co., and a D20 member, notes that while the RIC system was originally designed to assist sorters in waste recovery facilities, it has since taken on additional uses. "Scrap brokers use the RIC to trade materials," says Pecorini. "Municipalities use the RICs to tell their constituents which resins are acceptable for collection."
In addition to these uses, Pecorini notes that some states use the RIC system to charge fees for certain packaging products, and brand owners and retailers use the RIC when considering end-of-life options for packaging products.
Pecorini says that ASTM D7611 will be used by those who buy, sell and trade waste plastics that have completed their originally intended life. "It will be used by municipalities, waste collectors, scrap brokers, recyclers, brand owners, retailers and anyone else interested in understanding and directing the end of life of plastic materials."
# Now that ASTM D7611 has been published, D20.95 plans to consider the following questions for future revisions of the standard: Are the chasing arrows surrounding the numbers still appropriate?
# What are the more specific definitions that might be needed for each resin identification code?
# What are the criteria for adding new codes?
All parties interested in contributing to these discussions regarding potential revisions to ASTM D7611 are invited to join the task group responsible for the new standard, D20.95.01 (www.astm.org/JOIN). To purchase ASTM standards, visit www.astm.org and search by the standard designation number, or contact ASTM Customer Relations (phone: 610-832-9585; service@astm.org).
ASTM International is one of the largest international standards development and delivery systems in the world. ASTM International meets the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles for the development of international standards: coherence, consensus, development dimension, effectiveness, impartiality, openness, relevance and transparency. ASTM standards are accepted and used in research and development, product testing, quality systems and commercial transactions.

How B2b Websites Help To Increase Business Oppertunities In Modern World
Business-to-Business (B2B) is a great trading concept that involves all Internet-based solutions that facilitate and accommodate building new business relationships between companies worldwide. B2B could be interchanged with Ecommerce, e-market, or e-business.

B2B serves as the venue for all manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers to convene all year long less of the hazards of travel and less of the expensive costs of traditional ways to make business. Through B2B trade portals, companies can exchange communications, information, and transactions as well as perform regular business processes like purchase orders, invoices, and payment.
Here are the advantages of getting online and participating in the B2B trade portal:
* Marketing done through the B2B sites are purely made via the Internet. This entails zero costs on printing, distribution, and postage since all promotions are done online. The best thing about this is that there is an efficient way to keep track of things via a software application that can measure the success rates automatically.
* Business becomes simpler to do. You spend lesser time traveling to and fro just to find good business partners.
* There is an interactive database of importers and exporters that you can tap into. You have access to the information and readily establish contact or communication if you wish to.
* B2B sites employ forums, which are a great source of raw information. Inputs from these forums can be used to develop marketing programs as well as new products.
* Traders also get to exchange information and experiences. Every trader can learn something new everyday from other traders in other parts of the world. Having access to such vital information makes for a strong foundation where market knowledge is concerned. This stock knowledge that continuously piles up can help traders know their markets more so that they can decrease the risks and dangers in case they decide to enter new markets.
* B2B significantly decreases operational costs for all trader members. This would result to more productivity and more profit.
* Transactions are completed much faster from inquiry to order to invoicing to payment to delivery.
* B2B trade portals connect markets that are physically separated by geographical borders and time zones.
* Every business, regardless of size can attempt to succeed.
* The continuous advancement in technology would only provide more opportunities for those who are already harnessing the benefits of doing online business through the B2B trade portals.
There is a new world where everyone is pretty much accessible. This world, which was made possible by the Internet, has so much to offer to those who recognize the potentials. It is not enough though, that one realizes the opportunities. He should do something to take advantage of these opportunities so that he can grow too.
Through the small yet humongous online B2B marketplace, every business can find a good place to plant its roots.

Coming in at third place in the export ranking, Russia and Eastern Europe remains one of the most important markets for the German manufacturers of plastics and rubber machinery. According to figures provided by the VDMA (German Engineering Federation), Germany exported about €96.7 million worth of machinery for plastics and rubber to Russia in the first three quarters of 2011 a drop of almost 50% in comparison to the figures from the same period last year. Before the global economic crisis, sales in the region had seen years of steady growth. Bernd Nötel from the association for plastics and rubber machinery, a division of VDMA, confirmed that there are signs of a new wind.
Alessio Fineo from the Italian plastics and rubber machinery manufacturers association Assocomaplast confirmed the optimism expressed by his German counterparts – albeit somewhat more cautiously. “Although the number of Italian exhibitors has dropped in comparison to last year, the companies represented here have reported having made excellent contacts and are very satisfied. Overall, the signs show that the market is recovering, but the industries which our customers are in are too diverse to draw any general conclusions.
One sector showing very crisis-resistant development is medical products.The Russian market is also very important to the Italian manufacturers in the industry, who are the second-largest supplier of machinery to the region.

Demand For Plastics Is Raising Up
The plastics industry is expected to recover in 2010 after assessment of the Plastics Industry Ministry slightly. The turnaround was marked accordingly as early as from the second half of 2009 and was boosted by the increasing international demand and the economic stimulus packages launched in Thailand significantly. Specific growth forecasts for sales or production of the overall sector, however, neither the association nor get in official institutions.
Conclusions on the development of the industry can be drawn, therefore, primarily of the company sales and foreign trade statistics. For the full year 2009 decreased. Imports of plastic products, according to the Commerce Department by 15.1% to 2.1 billion. In the years before the industry had attracted a steady imports, with the growth rates 6-10% move. Approximately 37.6% of imports of plastics in 2009 accounted for films, foils and strips, as well as tubes and pipes (4.2%). The main source countries for Japan, China, Malaysia and the U.S.. Given the general upturn in imports, which in the first Half of 2010 by more than 50% compared with the same period last year were likely to explode, so do the imports of plastics relatively quickly recover.
The development of exports in 2009 was down. With $ 2.3 billion, exports of plastics were up 14.4% on the result of the previous year. Since 2004, the industry exports were still up significantly, and sometimes realize growth rates of 20%. The three main export items in 2009 set from films, foils and strips (32.1%), shopping bags (22.7%) and utensils (4.5% together). The biggest buyers of Thai plastic products were, according to the Commerce Department, the U.S., Indonesia and Australia. The mirror in the past compared with the import side, higher growth rates of plastics exports reflects the increasing international competitiveness of Thai industry companies.
Of a recovery in the future speak for assessment of the Government Institution Office of Industrial Economics (OIE) that the local main sectors for plastic products such as the automotive and electronics industry, the production of hard disks, the food and the packaging industry and construction in 2010 in some cases very high growth rates. In addition, affect the international economy, initiated in 2009 packages remain positive on the external demand for Thai products. Cross-exports to Thailand in 2010 by nearly 20% show up, which should also increase the demand of the highly export-plastics industry.
A good example is the development of the sector enterprises T. Krungthai Industries Plc (TKT), which mainly supplies the automotive and electronics industry with primary products. The plastics manufacturer was already in the first Quarter of 2010 achieved a new record and shows to follow media reports convinced that it can be for the full year growth target exceeded by 15% significantly. The Deputy Managing Director, Choompol Techakrisri projected in the Bangkok Post that the company\'s 2010 sales could due to the dynamic development of the Thai automotive sector as much as 30-40% in the skyrocketing. The production of the Thai vehicle was forging risen sharply in the first months of 2010 by almost 100%.
As a further driving force turns out to be for the Thai plastics sector is increasingly the establishment of the FTA AFTA (ASEAN Free Trade Area), which has taken on 1.1.10 with the drastic reduction of intra-regional tariffs to a new stage of development. Companies like Srithai Superware Plc, the largest melamine producer in Thailand to go, so even a "golden year off". The company\'s sales of packaging materials for food and drink sector to double over therefore 2010th To keep step with the rapid development and generate further economies of scale to be able to press reports, Srithai ordered to follow new technology from Europe.
In addition, the company plans to invest because of the increasing demand from the food sector in the expansion of capacity. Is planning Srithai, 650 million baht (B, around 13.5 million €, 1 € = 48.13 B - annual average 2009). For the expansion of spending three factories in Nakhon Ratchasima, Chon Buri and Samut Prakan. Of this amount, 130 million will flow B in the acquisition of new equipments. Another 130 million expected to be invested in B, the expansion of production facilities in India and Vietnam. Other industry companies such as Indorama Ventures Plc (IVL stretch) their probe even further to Europe and have in their investment activities mainly in Italy and the Netherlands in their sights.
The listed company Polypex (Thailand) Plc (PTL) uses contrast to the domestic market and has $ 22 million for a new production line output, which should start operating even during the year 2010th For the manufacturer of plastic films, this step is an important part of the overall strategy to continue to focus on products with higher added value. So far, simple films draw still responsible for around two thirds of the company\'s turnover. By 2012 this proportion to 50% will be reduced.
The biggest buyers of plastics in Thailand, according to the Institute PTIT (Petroleum Institute of Thailand), manufacturer of packaging, with a share of 49%, followed by electronics parts (12%), the motor vehicle industry (7%), construction at 6% and textiles, shoes, and the construction sector with 6%. Packages are expected in future especially in the wake of Thailand in order to gain more and more expansive use of ready meals in importance. As industry experts predict another trend seeing a greater focus on naturally degradable products such as bioplastics, where Thailand enjoys because of its natural resources is a huge potential.
From 24 27.6.10 to the fair was held in Thailand "Interplas 2010, which is regarded as the most important event for the industry in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) - region. It found, according to the organizer 350 exhibitors from 15 countries and 35,000 visitors.
