"Best Polymer Producers Awards for Europe 2019": Nine producers awarded / Vynova wins overarching prize for customer communication / Ceremony at EuPC conference in Berlin
Processing customers have chosen the best European plastics suppliers in 2019. During the gala dinner of the EuPC's annual conference on 13 June 2019 in Berlin / Germany, the Polymers for Europe Alliance (www.polymercomplyeurope.eu/pce-services/polymers-europe-allliance) announced the nine winners of the "Best Polymer Producers Awards for Europe 2019". The award ceremony of this Europe-wide customer survey took place in the presence of 150 industry representatives, following a record high numer of votes. Polymer consumers from all over Europe rated the performance of their suppliers in a confidential online vote based on five categories (polymer quality, regulatory compliance, delivery reliability, communication and innovation) from February up to May 2019. For the first time, the Alliance also published a more detailed ranking, including the scores of all polymer suppliers.
The fourth edition of the Best Polymer Producers Awards is built on the success of the first three rounds, and the number of participants continued to rise in 2019, alliance head Ron Marsh said. "The Awards clearly represent a major opportunity for re-establishing a constructive dialogue and a good communication between suppliers and users of polymers in Europe. A growing number of voters every year underlines the success of these Awards.”
