KRAIBURG TPE has announced the official opening of its subsidiary, KRAIBURG TPE UK.
KRAIBURG TPE
The UK has long been a pivotal market for KRAIBURG TPE with numerous well-known clients and successful collaborations. However, evolving dynamics presented challenges in maintaining optimal service standards since 2020. Collaborating closely with the longstanding partner, Abbey Polymers, KRAIBURG TPE diligently addressed these challenges. In January 2024, KRAIBURG TPE UK initiated its business and warehousing operations. With a dedicated sales office in Stafford and a strategically located warehouse in Stoke-on-Trent, the company aims to deliver customer-centric solutions.
Appointment of Michal Mucha
KRAIBURG TPE has announced Michal Mucha as the main UK representative for KRAIBURG TPE UK. With a wealth of experience spanning over a decade in plastics and automotive sectors, Mucha is primed to further extend the company’s presence in the UK market. Mucha is supported in his role by Philip Jahn, technical sales manager EMEA, who has been in charge of the UK market for KRAIBURG TPE since 2020 and who has extensive experience of the local requirements.
Expanding operations in the UK not only reinforces the company’s commitment to the region but also streamlines the purchasing process for customers. By establishing a local presence, lead times and shipping costs are reduced, providing customers with "greater convenience and efficiency" in their procurement journey. This localisation strategy aligns with the growing trend towards regionalisation in supply chain management, enabling KRAIBURG TPE to respond swiftly to market demands and expand overall service levels. Moreover, customers benefit from seamless navigation in regulatory frameworks, ensuring compliance with local standards and regulations. By understanding and adhering to UK-specific requirements, KRAIBURG TPE provides customers with products that meet their exact specifications and regulatory needs, further enhancing trust and confidence in our brand.
Nikolaus Weiss, head of sales at KRAIBURG TPE in EMEA: “We want to welcome Michal to the team and we’re very glad to have him on board. In essence, our expansion into the UK market signifies not only our commitment to serving UK customers but also our recognition of the unique challenges and opportunities within the region. By establishing a local presence, we aim to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive sustainable growth while maintaining unwavering service excellence. Together, we look forward to shaping the future of the TPE industry in the UK and beyond.”
