POLYONE Corporation, a premier global provider of specialised polymer materials, services and solutions, announced that Juffali PolyOne Masterbatch, a joint venture between PolyOne Corporation and E A Juffali and Brothers, has opened its new production facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This new facility will help customers in the Middle East innovate and grow via local access to world-class specialty polymer colourants.
The opening of the new production facility is a logical extension of nearly 30 years of co-operation between the two companies, which became even stronger in October 2011, when PolyOne and Juffali announced formation of the Juffali PolyOne Masterbatch joint venture. Juffali brings its local expertise in the region to the venture, and PolyOne provides its formulation technology and material science.
