Short, long and continuous fiber composites available in pellet or semi-finished forms 3D printing is having an impact on our world - learn how it can impact your business today

We manufacture specialty long fiber composite pellets using a proprietary pultrusion process that melt impregnates continuous carbon, glass or other specialty fibers with thermoplastic polymer matrices ranging from polypropylene (PP) to PEEK to achieve high performance.  In 2018 PlastiComp became a part of Avient Corporation to expand the reach for our unique materials and business methodology. 

The Glasforms business unit formulated a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite material for the C7 Corvette Z06 and non-Z06 underbody braces. Avient produced the continuous composite-profile braces using pultrusion technology.

Avient’s EH&S Management System (EH&S MS) is managed by its Corporate Environmental, Health, Safety and Product Stewardship Department, and by degreed technical experts employed in all regions and businesses. It covers both regulatory requirements and voluntary actions, and incorporates the principle of continuous improvement.

Approach of the Avient Group to governance and risk management of UK tax matters The Avient Group establishes internal financial policies requiring UK businesses to comply with all applicable UK tax laws and deploys an internal review process to ensure this policy is followed timely and accurately. To the extent that the Avient Group does engage in UK tax planning, the Avient Group will only engage in such UK tax planning when it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon audit. It will also make sure that such planning will support Avient Group’s commercial strategies and economic activities in the UK.
