PEER COMPARISONS
25
As a specialty formulator, we don’t
require significant capital
investment, as compared to the
base resin raw material suppliers
we purchase from.
Whether
an additional line at an existing
manufacturing plant, or a new
facility in a growing region, we
ramp-up quickly and cost-efficiently.

Composites and raw material deflation
• Cost reductions primarily driven by reduced
