Benvic ModenPlast all set for tubing innovations

PVC compounds and ecological biopolymers specialist Benvic has announced its intention to seek material synergies and new products for the world’s medical markets via its ModenPlast subsidiary in Northern Italy.

Benvic ModenPlast, which has been established in medical tubing technology and related world markets for decades, will now become the springboard for Benvic’s across-the-board expertise in medical compounding and applications.

Benvic Modenplast, together with Benvic Luc & Bel, will now develop new and integrated solutions for global medical systems; systems that are composed of new polymer compounds and products processed from the same.

Benvic Medical promises improved design, functionality and expertisefrom the blending of these technologies and businesses.

Luc Mertens, Benvic CEO explains that the strategy is to ‘build a vertically integrated medical division that delivers sustainable value to the evolving medical sector, that integrates with the rest of our group and – not least – delivers real environmental and social value.’

Prior to acquisition, ModenPlast was already its own producer of PVC raw materials. Benvic’s ownership has injected new synergies between Modenplast medical compounds and their applications and the Benvic strengths in logistics and formulation knowhow. In addition to PVC-based products Benvic ModenPlast handles various other polymers for extrusion, including PE, TPU, TPE, and EVA.

Benvic Medical is set to unveil some of the ModenPlast and Luc & Bel medical technology at the world’s leading exhibition for the industry - Medica Compamed, Düsseldorf, 15-18 November 2021.
