Chief Commercial Officer

Our commercial promise is partnership, not just supply. We work closely with converters and brand owners to match the right masterbatch to each application, market and budget, and we back every order with responsive technical sales, lead times you can plan around, and a presence across the regions we serve. When our customers grow, we grow with them.

Technical Director

Every grade we ship starts in the lab. Our R&D and color-matching teams develop and validate color, white, black, additive and special-effect concentrates against the conditions they'll actually face, dispersion, heat history, end-use performance, long before they reach a customer's line. Innovation here is practical: solving the converter's problem with the right carrier, the right loading and the right additive package.

Process Improvement Director

Consistency doesn't happen by chance, it's engineered. We bring together deep process expertise, live production data, and advanced manufacturing to raise productivity, hold quality steady, and bring energy use down, keeping our operations leaner and more sustainable along the way. From the first intake of raw material to the final pellet, every stage is watched closely and tuned constantly. The payoff is simple: the masterbatch you approve is the masterbatch you receive, run after run.

General Manager – Operations

Operations is where our promises become product. Across our plants we line up people, machines and materials so that what sales commits to is what leaves the floor, on time and to specification. We run disciplined, safety-first operations and keep every site pulling in the same direction, from planning and maintenance to output and dispatch. The goal never changes: dependable supply, batch after batch, wherever our customers are.

Supply Chain Manager

A masterbatch is only as good as its ability to arrive. We plan demand, balance inventory and move material across our network so production never waits, and customers never do either. From supplier to shop floor to shipment, we build a supply chain that stays resilient when plans change and honest about lead times, so the dates we give are dates you can plan around. Reliability, from end to end, is the work.

Procurement Manager

Great masterbatch begins with great inputs. We source pigments, carriers and additives from partners we trust, qualifying every material against the performance and consistency our grades demand, not the lowest price alone. Working hand in hand with our petrochemical and specialty suppliers, we secure the right quality at the right cost and keep raw material flowing, so our plants can deliver without compromise. Strong supplier relationships are, quietly, part of every batch we make.
