Swiss trading group Meraxis and one of Europe's leading producers of polypropylene compounds Rialti have entered into a strategic partnership: Effective immediately, Meraxis will market Rialti's high-quality compounds and recompounds in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Together, the two companies will also further advance the development and production of customer-specific recompounds.

Global polymer distributor Meraxis is adding two positions to its Executive Board: Sarah Maier has been appointed Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) by the Supervisory Board effective January 1, 2023. As of March 1, 2023, Emmanuel Tarret will also join the company as Chief Operating Officer (COO).

As of now, polymers from ClickPlastics AG are also available in the digital customer portal of Meraxis Group. ClickPlastics specializes in the exclusive distribution of plastic granules from Asian manufacturers. The portfolio ranges from commodities to engineering polymers.

Swiss polymer distributor Meraxis acquires French Fournier Plastics Group. The corresponding contracts were signed today in Berne. Subject to antitrust reviews, the purchase is expected to be completed before the end of 2022. Fournier is one of the leading distributors of standard and engineering polymers as well as additives in Western Europe and North Africa. With this acquisition, Meraxis is expanding its business regionally and extending its product and service portfolio.

Meraxis is presenting its one-stop shop at "K 2022": In addition to standard polymers, recyclates and investment goods such as molds, the portfolio also includes technical and supply chain management (SCM) services. With its one-stop shop service, Meraxis simplifies the procurement process and helps polymer processors to master current challenges in global supply chains. The global trading company's strong supplier network, flexible logistics concepts and consulting services, and digital solutions are particularly helpful in this regard. The trade show appearance will also focus on products and services to promote the circular economy and sustainability.

Whether optimizing a component, designing a new tool, or designing ideal manufacturing processes – Meraxis offers customers services for product, tool and process development. To achieve this, we work together with selected partners – including, as of now, the established engineering factory "GK Concept".
