In 2020 and early 2021, Ascend purchased its compounding facility in Suzhou,
two Italian manufacturers specializing in PA66, PA6 and masterbatches, and a
French company specialized in flame-retardant compounds. The company also
launched its HiDur(TM) long-chain polyamides and Acteev(TM) antimicrobial
plastics, fibers and fabrics.
With its expanded portfolio and manufacturing footprint, Ascend aims to fully
serve the growing e-mobility, electrical and electronics, and consumer
segments.
"Much of our projected demand growth will be in China and Asia," said Kevin Wu,
senior vice president and managing director of Asia for Ascend. "Our facility
in Suzhou will make us more responsive to our customers' growth and the growing
on-site innovation center will allow us to quickly innovate and test new
materials for specific customer applications."
Ascend operates under a five-year plan with the current plan focused on
transforming the company into a more global, diversified and reliable supplier
to its customers.
"Our investments over the past year have brought us closer to our customers in
Asia and Europe, broadened our product portfolio in PA66 and specialty
polyamides, and expanded our technical resources to work more closely with
customers," said Phil McDivitt, president and CEO of Ascend.
The company is featuring its expanded portfolio, including a new line of UL
yellow card-certified Starflam(R) flame-retardant polyamides, a
high-temperature Vydyne(R) XHT, a portfolio of HiDura LCPAs, and apparel and
masks made with Acteev at Chinaplas 2021 in Shenzen at the SWECC booth 17L40
from 13-16 April.
