Solvay Specialty Polymers Extends Biesterfeld Plastic Pan-European Distribution Agreement to Include Ryton® PPS Grades

Effective May 1, Solvay Specialty Polymers has enhanced the distribution channel for its Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) product line through a strategic partnership with Biesterfeld Plastic GmbH thereby extending its current distribution to a pan–European level, excluding Italy.

This broadened collaboration considerably strengthens Biesterfeld Plastic’s product portfolio. Both existing and new Ryton® PPS customers will benefit from high quality service and efficient supply chain solutions.

"We are excited to have achieved this distribution agreement with Biesterfeld Plastic for our Ryton® PPS product line,” comments Vincent P. Meunier, EMEA channel partners manager, Solvay Specialty Polymers. “We require highly experienced and reliable distribution partners, such as Biesterfeld Plastic and its numerous local subsidiaries, to secure and provide our customers with world-class commercial, logistic and technical service levels.”

Dietmar Zinkand, Business Manager of Biesterfeld Plastic GmbH adds, "We are delighted that Solvay Specialty Polymers has awarded the pan-European distribution of its Ryton® PPS product line to Biesterfeld Plastic, which strengthens our offering in high performance polymers from renowned market leaders. This new agreement broadens our longstanding partnership with Solvay stretching over 15 years, reinforcing our stable relationship to provide customers with combined supply and supporting technical capabilities.”

Biesterfeld Plastic began distributing Ryton® PPS grades in Germany, France and the Benelux in 1991 and added Solvay’s sulfone polymers, including Radel® polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), Udel® polysulfone (PSU) and Veradel® polyethersulfone (PESU), in Germany in 1998.
