The Turkish subsidiary of German distributor and compounder Albis Plastic (Hamburg; www.albis.com) can now add masterbatches from US-based Ampacet (Tarrytown, New York; www.ampacet.com) to its distribution portfolio. The agreement covers the colour and additive masterbatch product groups as well as black and white batches for injection moulding and blow moulding applications.

"The cooperation with Ampecet represents the expansion of a successful partnership which already exists in many European countries," notes Marcel Wiesner, a director for product area technical compounds at Albis Plastic. The two companies have been working together since 2008 – see Plasteurope.com of 26.06.2008.
