Dow Jones Description

We are a leading global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions with operations in thermoplastic compounds, specialty polymer services formulations, color and additive systems, thermoplastic resin distribution and specialty polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, resins with equity investments in manufacturers of caustic soda and chlorine, and PVC compound products and in a formulator of polyurethane compounds. We provide value to our customers through our ability to link our knowledge of polymers and formulation technology with our manufacturing and supply chain processes to provide an essential link between large chemical producers (our raw material suppliers) and designers, assemblers and processors of plastics (our customers). We believe that large chemical producers are increasingly outsourcing less-than-railcar business; polymer and additive producers need multiple channels to market; processors continue to outsource compounding; and international companies need suppliers with global reach. Our goal is to provide our customers with specialized material and service solutions through our global reach and product platforms, low-cost manufacturing operations, a fully integrated information technology network, broad market knowledge and raw material procurement leverage. ...
