The fabric of the industry is nowadays pan-European at heart. However, loyalty continues to define the shape of the market and local producers with it.

Coronavirus, Brexit, consolidation, issues with material supply, as well as foreign suppliers seeking to expand their presence in Europe, have opened the doors for distributors. Plastic converters and OEMs have turned to new suppliers and products to maximise their options for sourcing raw material.

The first edition of AMI’s Polymer Distributors in Europe database, published in September 2021 is the result of an extensive research programme conducted for the homonymous market report.
