Muehlstein, the largest international distributor
of
plastics and rubber polymers, has joined Omnexus, the global plastics
eMarketplace, as a strategic supplier. The addition of Muehlstein to the
Omnexus marketplace represents a rapidly growing list of more than 20
global suppliers creating a single point of connectivity for plastics processors
and suppliers.
“As a global leader in polymer distribution, Muehlstein represents a strategic
addition to the Omnexus eMarketplace and solidifies our position as the
choice for e-procurement in the global plastics industry,” said David Jukes,
Omnexus senior vice president. “We can now provide an even greater variety
of products to plastics processors in order to meet their complete needs – all
through the convenience of a single, neutral location that is truly faster than the
telephone or FAX if you deal with multiple suppliers.”
Representing most of the leading polymer producers, Muehlstein markets and
distributes 2.4 billion pounds of plastics and rubber products annually to more
than 6,000 manufacturers in 72 countries. Muehlstein’s extensive portfolio of
products includes
polyethylene,
polypropylene,
polystyrene, polybutadiene,
SBR, engineering
resins and specialty compounds.
“Muehlstein is constantly striving to bring superior value to our customers,”
said Mark Lux, vice president of Muehlstein. “Our current customers are
finding efficiencies in using our proprietary Muehlstein.com interactive site,
but accounts who deal with multiple suppliers and a multitude of products will
ultimately prefer the functionality of the Omnexus eMarketplace. In addition,
we look forward to Omnexus bringing us new customers interested in our
size, scope, and seamless
logistics capabilities.”
