Plastics distribution specialist Distrupol is celebrating its 60th year in business - today. The company, today a European leader in the application and development of thermoplastic polymers and elastomers, started in 1963 as Ronmar Plastics Ltd. Since then it has grown into a prominent polymer distributor, representing world-leading producers such as Celanese, Ineos, Chi Mei, Versalis, and many more. Headquartered in Surrey, UK, Distrupol operates across Europe, from offices and warehouses in Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway, and has recently branched into Egypt.
“We proudly look back at the heritage businesses that form Distrupol today, starting on March 22, 1963, with the formation of Ronmar Plastics in Wolverhampton,” said Richard Orme, managing director.
As an 8-time winner at the Plastics Industry Awards, Distrupol is a trusted partner in the industry, known for its application development expertise and the ability to collaborate with both suppliers and customers to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions to manufacturers and OEMs.
“Distrupol has been so much more than a workplace for many of our people. It’s a place where lifelong friendships have been made, where families have started, where loved ones have been lost, and where people have truly grown and flourished. Our people are our main asset – they are the reason why we have been successful for 60 years and why our customers and suppliers are proud to work with us,” added James Stanton, commercial & operations director for the business.
The company is marking the milestone this evening with an intimate celebration for colleagues, with some key suppliers and customers in attendance.
