SPECIALITY chemicals firm Performance Additives, a part of the Behn Meyer Group, focuses on renewable technology with its product technology. In an exclusive interview with Rubber Journal Asia (RJA), the firm’s CEO Michael E. Wolers says that the company is committed and always pushing for Green Packaging and Recycling.
Having a manufacturing facility in Malaysia, the company benefits from the country’s source and production of palm oil and its derivatives. Moreover, the logistic advantage of a nearby international port also adds benefit for Performance Additives to become a reliable and respected manufacturer and supplier of premier products, he said.
“Performance Additives started with this factory 14 years ago (1999) here in SIME UEP Industrial Park, Malaysia and has since expanded its offices (about two years ago) on the premises. They have built a new Warehouse, located on the next road, which is ready for operations this month, “ said Wolers.
Performance Additives had bought Flexys Rubber Chemical in 2011, with its manufacturing plant in Italy. With this company covering the European region, Performance Additives is making huge expansions into the rubber and latex industry, he added.
Wolers also stressed that it was very important for the company to achieve ISO 9001 certification, which their facility in the US has obtained on 19 December 2012.
Meanwhile, representatives of the company will be present at the upcoming Latex & Synthetic Polymer Dispersions Conference on 10-11 September in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
