Once again this year a large number of participants are featured, even though some of the big players like La Seda and Equipolymers in the resin sector are con- spicuous by their absence. Anyone who hasn’t been included is cordially invited to contact the editors direct to make sure that they are not left out next year. It was a particular pleas- ure to see Pearl and Shinkong there this time. See for yourself how the companies, along with their respective product portfolios, are faring in a market characterised by turbulence as far as prices are concerned. When it comes to suppliers, although we may have fewer entries this year (and bearing in mind the just how many suppliers out there, the number we do have is certainly not exhaus- tive) more and more new suppliers are finding their way to us. One example this year is Chroma. The additives available include barrier improvement additives for sensitive bever- ages, UV blockers, brighteners and many other performance enhancers. Whilst the publishers have made every effort to ensure that the information is up to date, no claims are made regarding completeness or accuracy. 10/10 MARKET survey Resins Company name M&G Polimeri Italia SpA Postal address Telephone number Web site address Contact name Function Direct telephone number Fax E-Mail Via Morolense Km 1 - 03010 Patrica (Frosinone) - Italy +39/0775/84221 www.gruppomg.com Marilena Grecchi Area Sales Export and Marketing intelligence support +39/02/82273242 +39/02/82273314 [email protected] RESINS 1.

Increased barrier properties Yes, with our poliprotect resins, launched in 2009: • Poliprotect apb with strong active and passive barrier incorporated (recommended for highly sensitive beverages, such as beer), • Poliprotect jb with active barrier incorporated (recommended for juices, dairy products, food), • Poliprotect pb with passive barrier incorporated (recommended for carbonated beverages).

Poliprotect's scavenger provides more than 18 months O 2 shelf life. Its exclusive nylon, x17, developed in collaboration with BASF company grants perfect transparency to containers produced with poliprotect resins.Poliprotect contacts: cécile bourland ([email protected]) and raffaella serra (raffaella.
