Sabic chooses North America distribution partner

Manufacturing company Sabic has named Chase Plastics as a key distribution partner for specialty engineering thermoplastics in North America.

Chase Plastics will begin serving Sabic customers during Q1 2019, with a primary focus on initial introductions and orientation to programs in process with select Sabic customers. Chase Plastics representatives will also have access to the full range of Sabic’s global application design and testing resources to support their relationships with Sabic customers.

The company is headquartered in Clarkston, Michigan, and has a network of 32 distribution centres and warehouses in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Kevin Chase, president of Chase Plastics said: “We are delighted by the prospects of supporting Sabic’s existing customers, and in addition, we look forward to helping Sabic grow its customer base in strategic industries in North America. Chase Plastics’ strengths – unparalleled customer service, technical expertise and the breadth of our network – are well-aligned with Sabic’s growth ambitions. Just as important, our company’s business pillars of responsiveness, insight, flexibility and dedication are an excellent cultural fit with Sabic, which puts the customer at the centre of each collaboration.”

Chase Plastics joins Nexeo Solutions as authorised distributors of Sabic’s complete portfolio of specialty materials.

Cathie Hess, director of customer fulfilment at Sabic, said: “Because we view our distributors as extensions of our commercial teams, Sabic sets a very high standard when selecting distribution partners. We have every confidence that Chase Plastics, with its outstanding leadership, broad distribution network, deep experience in specialty thermoplastics and their commitment to, as they themselves say, ‘outrageous service,’ will bring added value to SABIC’s Specialties customers.”
