Total Enterprise Value / 2021E EBITDA
Our current valuation with updated
guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the majority of our
chemical peers.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.

SUMMARY: WHY INVEST IN AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-08/Avient Thermoplastic Composite Tapes Product Overview.pdf
Avient Thermoplastic Tapes
Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined
with thermoplastic resins to create continuous
fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide
superior strength-to-weight ratio and high
performance for reinforcement across a broad
range of applications.
Our comprehensive portfolio consists of
Polystrand™ and Fiber-Line™ branded tapes,
made using unique processes and materials
to customize performance properties to meet
specific application requirements such as tensile
and flexural strength, impact performance, creep,
chemical, and UV resistance.
POLYSTRAND™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT,
LIGHTWEIGHT
Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and
engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous
fiber composites offer reduced weight while
maintaining exceptional strength and impact
resistance.

As a visible outdoor part, the material
needed good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact
resistance, and a matte finish.
THE IMPACT
The new Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations
from Avient enabled Hager to bring the new cubyko
leaf to market quickly, with a first launch in the French
market in January 2024.
Avient is pleased to have been part of the
collaboration between Plastic Bank and Hager Group,
helping one of its recognized customers move
towardsreaching its sustainability goals by
transforming discarded ocean-bound plastic into
high-performance polymers.
