About Avient
https://www.avient.com/idea/smart-alternative-yields-savings-efficiency-mars-otomotiv
Since its founding in 2004, the Istanbul, Turkey-based maker of lighting for the global auto and transportation industries had built a good part of its thriving business around LED products.
Using a supplier for the parts also led to unexpected costs and shipping delays, created logistics challenges and tied up stock and working capital.
As part of their search for an alternative, Mars Otomotiv’s engineers met with Avient to explore non-metal options for the part.
