SYNTHOMER Group has opened a new Asian regional headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This follows its acquisition of PolymerLatex and means that the sales offices of Synthomer and PolymerLatex are now combined in the new premises.
The company says its modern office in the heart of Kuala Lumpur injects a fresh corporate image into the Synthomer Asia companies by bringing everyone under one roof and one new common identity, which in turn allows good access to customers.
UK-based Synthomer is a major producer of styrene-butadiene (SBR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene (nitrile) latex, with around 50 years of experience and a particular strength in speciality applications. It is a global market leader in nitrile latex for dipped gloves as well as in SBR latex for construction and has European leadership positions in other important markets such as carpets, textiles, fibreglass and technical papers.
The main plant for nitrile latex, and the largest of its kind in the world, is currently in Kluang, Malaysia, supported by additional manufacturing capability in Europe.(PRA)
