Strengthening manufacturers and new contacts: Chinaplas results for Revada Plastic
Representatives of Revada Plastic visited the Chinaplas international exhibition, one of the world’s largest venues in the plastics industry. In terms of scale and number of participants, the exhibition consistently ranks among the key industry events and reflects real changes in the structure of the global polymer and additive market.
This year, the quality and level of Chinese manufacturers have increased especially noticeably. Many companies demonstrate not only capacity growth, but also serious development in terms of product stability, technological development and a range of additives for PVC, including PVC stabilizers, impact strength modifiers, lubricants for PVC processing and titanium dioxide. At the same time, the number of visitors from Europe and India turned out to be below the usual level, which is probably due to the current global processes and the redistribution of business activity.
Direct dialogue in Chinese: more clarity and precision in the selection of PVC additives
Revada Plastik worked as an expanded team at the exhibition, which allowed for a large number of meetings to be held simultaneously and both technical and commercial issues to be worked out. Communication with suppliers was mostly straightforward, but in a number of negotiations, an important advantage was the participation of our employee with knowledge of Chinese, which allowed us to discuss certain details at a more precise level.
This format is especially important when working with additives for PVC, where the nuances of the composition and parameters of the product directly affect the processing and properties of the final product.
From problem to solution faster: how do we shorten the approval cycle
Within the framework of Chinaplas, a series of productive meetings were held with both our proven suppliers and new manufacturers. Additionally, a significant number of promising contacts have been established, which will be worked out in the future.
Considerable attention was paid to joint meetings in the “Client – Revada Plastic – Supplier” format. This approach allows you to:
- coordinate technical requirements faster;
- discuss real processing tasks;
- select solutions for specific formulations of PVC compositions.
In practice, this significantly reduces the path from discussion to industrial testing.
Partners and interactions
Revada Plastic would like to thank the company Donglin for the high level of organization of work at the stand and hospitality. Such meetings allow not only to support ongoing projects, but also to discuss the development of product lines, including impact strength modifiers and PVC recycling solutions to meet the requirements of the Russian and CIS markets.
Market expectations
As a result of negotiations with suppliers, we can note a general commitment to maintaining prices for most types of raw materials at a relatively high level in the near future. This applies to both basic polymers and key additives for PVC.
Combined with the continued strengthening of the role of Asian manufacturers, this is shaping a new market configuration in which supply stability, product quality, and technological support are key factors in choosing a partner.
Conclusion for the market
Chinaplas has once again confirmed that the center of development of the plastics and additives industry is shifting towards Asia. For processors, this means the need to work with a wider range of suppliers and take into account differences in the properties of raw materials and additives.
In these conditions, the importance of technological support and the correct selection of formulation components increases, including PVC stabilizers, modifiers and other functional additives. This approach makes it possible to ensure stable product quality even with a change in the supply structure.
Revada Plastic continues to develop its partner network and product portfolio to provide customers with predictability, stability, and efficient PVC recycling solutions.5
