PC sheet manufacturers take on regulation

Five polycarbonate sheet manufacturers have established an association to tackle European regulation and legislation. The European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE) has been formed under the umbrella of EuPC in Brussels.

The five founder members – Arla Plast, Barlo Plastics, Brett Martin, Dott Gallina and Kaysersberg Packaging – manufacture extruded sheets in solid wall, corrugated and modular systems. Engineering plastics supplier Dow Europe has joined as an associate member.

Robin Black of Brett Martin has been elected president of EPSE. He said: “The polycarbonate sheet industry is still relatively young and the opportunities for our products are growing across a broad range of end-user markets.

“EPSE will provide a new forum for channelling information to the EU institutions and potential end-users, as well as receiving feedback about the future needs of those markets.”
