Ascend Performance Materials – specialists in high-performance materials for new technologies – is to expand its relationship with international plastics and chemicals distributor Snetor.
Snetor will distribute its polyamide-based engineered materials in Latin America, as well as Ascend’s HiDura MED portfolio for medical applications in Europe.
This marks Ascend’s first distribution agreement in Latin America since acquiring its compounding site in San José Iturbide, Mexico, in 2022.
Snetor now carries Ascend’s Vydyne, Starflam, HiDura and ReDefyne PA66, PA610 and PA612 resins and engineered materials in Europe and Latin America.
“Snetor shares our commitment to premium products and sustainable solutions,” said Lourdes (Lulu) Alvarez, Ascend’s country managing director for Mexico.
“Having the right distribution partner with a keen technical focus is critical to ensuring that each customer gets the best possible material to address their needs.”
Snetor has been active in the distribution of plastic raw materials (from polymers commodities to engineering plastics) and chemicals in Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The group operates in over 100 countries with a varied customer base of converters.
“We are delighted to further strengthen our partnership with Ascend,” said Emmanuel Aubourg, Snetor Group CEO.
“The combination of our respective expertise and our two well-known brands in our markets will enable us to offer a complete and premium range of polyamides in several key markets.”
