PlastiComp's Application Development Center is an impactful offering of technical resources to help drive that success with your program.

From the “Chairman’s Club,” which recognizes the top 5% of our global sellers, to the “Chairman’s Achievement Awards,” which highlights associates who have made a large impact to the business through their work, to our peer-to-peer “You Made a Difference” awards, we offer several ways to recognize our associates.

By collaborating with key stakeholders throughout the value chain, we’ve been able to establish a recycling solution for Dyneema® without impacting the technology requirements to deliver the world’s strongest fiber™.

These include the energy required for recycling, environmental impacts, carbon emissions, the value of the next life of the material, its longevity, and the economics of the entire process.

Producing your plastisol in-house can be one way to save costs, but it also comes with a number of challenges that could have an impact on your overall operations.
