A Schulman, the US-based manufacturer of high-performance plastic compounds, powders, composites and resins, will add compounding line at its Givet (Ardennes, France). “We are proud to be the leading producer of masterbatches in Europe. In fact, our production site in Givet (Ardennes) is the industry’s biggest manufacturing facility of its kind and, yet in order to meet the growing demand for our products in France and the broader European market, we are now adding another major compounding line there,” said Heinrich Lingnau, general manager and senior vice president (EMEA), A Schulman.
 
The A Schulman site in Givet has produced masterbatches for the plastics industry since 1989, mainly focusing on white and black masterbatch as well as additive masterbatches which are used in various industries such as packaging, hygiene products and agricultural films to name a few.
 
In France, A Schulman currently produces masterbatches in Givet and Oyonnax (Ain), engineering plastics in L’Arbresle (Rhone), and is consolidating its specialty powders activities in a new facility in Saint Germain Laval (Seine-et-Marne).
