Hamburg, Germany

The Hamburg based distributor and compounder of engineering resins, ALBIS PLASTIC GmbH and AMPACET Europe SA, one of the worldwide leading producers of MasterBatch have closed a distribution agreement, which comes into effect on July, 1st, 2008. The comprehensive product range of AMPACET Europe means a considerable extension of ALBIS’ product offering in MasterBatch to the plastics processing industry. ALBIS will be offering the complete MasterBatch range of AMPACET, consisting of Blackbatch, Whitebatch, Additivebatch and Colorbatch in many countries in Europe.„The AMPACET product line complements our product range of ALBIS own MasterBatch in an ideal manner“, says Carsten Meyer-Rackwitz, Director Technical Compounds at ALBIS, and he continues: „While the AMPACET portfolio primarily comprises colorbatch based on polyolefins and styrenics, ALBIS will continue to concentrate its own MasterBatch on engineering resins and especially on the combi-batch under the ALCOLOR function brand.”In addition there is a great deal of synergies in the marketing of the polyolefins of LyondellBasell, which ALBIS has been distributing European-wide for two years, now. Following its all-in-one philosophy ALBIS can now offer processors of polyolefins a full range including the MasterBatch needed. The advantages for the customers are self-explanatory. They have a single source for material selection and service.For AMPACET, who have done their business almost solely direct until now, the decision for the new partner ALBIS PLASTIC was an easy, almost natural one. The high market penetration of ALBIS in Europe was pivotal to the decision. In a first step ALBIS has gained distribution rights for Germany, Austria, Switzerland (DACH), for Scandinavia including Finland as well as the Benelux countries. In addition, both partners are heavily investigating to extend their cooperation to other countries or regions in the coming months.Due to the new deal, ALBIS is discontinuing the distribution of Cabot’s Black- and White Batch in Germany. “Following our growth strategy we need partners, who are prepared to support our expansion into many countries in Europe. With our new partner AMPACET we can grow in a number of key markets in Europe”, Carsten Meyer-Rackwitz continues.
