Polyolefins producer Borealis (Vienna / Austria; www.borealisgroup.com) will in future work with only one distribution partner for the automotive industry in Europe. The marketing contract with Resinex (Arendonk / Belgium; www.resinex.com) will therefore be terminated at the end of 2009, said the company. After that, Ashland Distribution (Europe: Barcelona / Spain; www.ashdist.com) will market the entire Borealis product portfolio in this segment.

Ashland Distribution is one of the leading distributors of thermoplastics for the automotive industry. It has partnered Borealis since 1996, and markets its PE and PP products for the automotive, high-quality packaging and infrastructure segments to more than 3,000 customers in Europe.
