Wire & Cable ASIA – July/August 2011 16
Teknor Apex Company has
established Teknor Apex Asia Pacific
Pte Ltd as the corporate name for a
leading plastics compounder serving a
vast region that stretches from Saudi
Arabia to New Zealand.
The new name replaces that of
Singapore Polymer Corporation (SPC),
an international business based in
Singapore that was acquired by Teknor
Apex in 2001.
Already bearing the Teknor Apex name
as a sister company in China, Teknor
Apex Suzhou Advanced Polymer
Compounds Co Ltd appointed Stanly L
K Tan as managing director of both
enterprises in 2010.
“Combining all of our operations under
the Teknor Apex brand represents the
culmination of a decade-long process
of integration that has created one
company in fact – not just in name,”
said Mr Tan.
“Whether our customers are based in
Saudi Arabia, India, China, or Australia,
they now have the assurance of
dealing with a single organisation
having uniform standards, product
designations, business practices, and
regulatory approvals.”
Besides the introduction of the new
name, another highlight of the
company’s exhibit at Chinaplas was the
first trade-show appearance of the
Sarlink ® thermoplastic vulcanizate
elastomer business since its acquisition
in November by Teknor Apex.
Sarlink compounds are well
established in the Asian automotive
market, with sales directed from an
office in Shanghai.
