PIE Polymer Price Reports-August 2023 The summer holidays dampened demand in the European composites market as well, whereby the automotive sector didn’t see quite the downturn that the construction industry did. Converters fought for every crumb of the cake, but on the whole few transactions were agreed upon; most covered small volumes. A modest upswing… Continue reading PIE Polymer Price Reports – August 2023

Pultruded composites contribute to a more sustainable future for construction Increasing energy and resource efficiency in the construction sector will be key to the EU’s ambition of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. By enabling the manufacture of strong, durable and lightweight products, composite materials can help the construction sector improve its environmental sustainability, as well… Continue reading EPTA Industry Briefing: Pultruded composites contribute to a more sustainable future for construction
