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.

Two new members have been appointed to the Supervisory Board of Meraxis AG on May 10, 2022: With Bettina Charrière and Gert-Jan van den Akker, two experienced leaders strengthen the globally operating polymer distributor.

The Swiss trading group Meraxis has further expanded its digital customer portal for the procurement of prime and recycled materials: Effective immediately, customers can send material requests and place and manage their orders directly in the "Meraxis Customer Portal".

Swiss trading group Meraxis and ROMCOLOR, one of the largest producers of masterbatches in Central and Eastern Europe, are expanding their cooperation with a further distribution agreement: Effective immediately, Meraxis is expanding its existing masterbatch portfolio for customers in the DACH and Benelux countries to include the wide range of ROMCOLOR products.

The Swiss trading group Meraxis is now offering its customers automated order management for prime and recycled materials. Its new VMI (vendor-managed inventory) service, «Ordering 4.0», will allow the polymer distributor to simplify the procurement process and optimize inventories and orders, making processes more reliable and minimizing failure risks.
