Conventus Polymers to distribute EMS-GRIVORY’s speciality nylons

Conventus Polymers, a high-performance engineering thermoplastics distributor, has been named an authorised distributor of EMS-GRIVORY's line of specialty nylons in the United States and Canada.

Conventus Polymers aims to sell the range of EMS-GRIVORY specialty nylons primarily for injection moulded applications across multiple sectors, including healthcare.

The partnership hopes to expand the presence of EMS-GRIVORY specialty nylons in the United States and Canada as a result of Conventus Polymers’ strong relationships with key OEMs. Conventus Polymers will provide all technical marketing, account management, application development, and customer service support.

The agreement covers a broad range of specialty nylon materials including EMS-GRIVORY’s Grilamid TR transparent nylon, Grilamid L nylon 12, Grivory GV partially aromatic nylon, and Grivory HT high-temperature PPA product portfolios. These products are based on amorphous, cycloaliphatic, long-chain: PA 12, PA 1010, PA 612, PA 610, partially aromatic, and PolyPhthalAmide (PPA) nylon chemistries. EMS-GRIVORY's portfolio of specialty nylons expands Conventus Polymers’ high-temperature portfolio which already includes PPSU, PES, PSU, PEEK, PPS.

John Jorgensen, president of Conventus Polymers, said: “We are excited about the partnership with EMS-GRIVORY because we share similar values and a strong commitment to offering our customers the best specialty thermoplastic solutions available.

“Our goal is to expand penetration in many non-automotive markets where specialty nylons are gaining traction, being more readily adopted, and experiencing rapid growth.

“We are excited to develop applications with EMS-GRIVORY. We are building on many successful newly commercialised applications and expect to continue that momentum in new applications and markets that fit the EMS-GRIVORY focus on metal replacement with Grivory GV and Grivory HT."

Darryl Goodwin, business manager for EMS-GRIVORY America, added: “We’re excited about our new partnership with Conventus and will further expand the EMS-GRIVORY specialty nylon product portfolio with the strengths in high-performance polymers, application development, metal replacement and the strong presence in market segments outside of automotive that Conventus offers.”
