Web Details

 

Subject has four manufacturing facilities, ISO 9001 : 2000 certified.


The LE HAVRE PLANT (France) is ideally located near one of the main European ports. The port of Le Havre is located on the world's busiest sea trade route and is linked by motorway to Paris and the rest of Europe by daily air services to London, Amsterdam and Brussels - an additional advantage for the many visitors.


This convenient location provides unrivalled advantages for the group's logistic department which is also located on the site:

The logistic department has a close relation with a number of efficient haulage companies who provide a high level of service to match the high performance of the products.

Subject places great emphasis on exports and markets its goods in all five continents. They have experience in 90 different countries and have a close relationship with our agents, enabling them to work with their customers to provide logistic services to suit their requirements.

Finally, they keep in close contact with official organizations to monitor regulations to ensure that they always conform to the requirements of the countries to which they dispatch the products.

THe Le Havre plant is a multipurpose plant manufacturing, Pliolite, Plioway dry resins, Pliotec latex, Chemigum and Sunigum elastomers, Wingstay antioxidants, Pliocord and Chemigum latex.

The AKRON PLANT (Ohio, USA) is located 35 miles from Cleveland in Akron Ohio. This area combines the presence of an existing plastic, coatings and rubber skilled workforce with many recognized centers of educational excellence. The Midwest Region has a high concentration of the industries Eliokem serves and the Universities in the area contribute to the innovation and training of future talents.

The Akron plant manufactures Pliolite, Pliotone dry resins, and Pliotec latex. The plant is highly automated and has batch and semi-continuous polymerization capabilities. Subject has implemented a system of continuous improvement in manufacturing operations over the past decade, which combined with capital investments to increase flexibility, capacity and productivity, have created a solid base for profitable growth. The facility is strategically located near the distribution channel, to better serve its customer base.

The NINGBO PLANT (China) is located in The Ningbo Economic and Technical Development Zone (NETD), one of China's most dynamic development regions, near Shanghai.

The Ningbo Plant is specifically designed for the protection of Wingstay phenolic antioxidants. It enables Subject to maintain a key position in Asia for ABS plastic and synthetic rubber stabilization and the protection of articles based on natural rubber latex.

The VALIA PLANT (India) is located in the western state of Gujarat, 300 kms north of the financial capital Mumbai. Situated in the midst of a major petrochemical zone bordering the Arabian Sea, Valia is close to the sources of monomers and to maritime ports. It was set up in 1992 under technology licensed from The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of USA. Valia and Le Havre plants share the same technological heritage but specialize in different product families to complement Eliokem offerings to the Rubber and Latex Industries.

Valia makes Chemigum Nitrile Rubber and Polyblends (NBR/PVC) and Pliolite HSR Reinforcing Resins (high styrene-rubber masterbatch) for the rubber industry; and Chemigum Nitrile and Pliolite SB Latices for the latex industry. Technical services to customers are provided by the on-site RandD center. The Valia facilities spearhead Eliokem offer to rubber and latex industries worldwide Infrastructure of the Valia plant was recently geared to double the capacity in readiness for the growing demand for its products in the coming years, especially in Asia.

Press Release

 

Paris/Villejust, 5 November 2007 : Eliokem, a global specialty chemical company and polymer producer, majority-owned by AXA Private Equity, has signed a purchase agreement with Apar Industries (Mumbai, India, “Apar”) to acquire its Polymer Division, for an amount of INR 1.1 bn (US$ 27.5m) subject to regulatory approvals.

 

Apar’s Polymer Division is the sole Indian manufacturer of nitrile rubber and has a strong leadership position in India. Its products offer excellent mechanical properties (abrasion and tear resistance) as well as exceptional chemical, oil and fuel resistance. End-use applications for Apar’s nitrile rubber include automotive parts and industrial goods such as rice rollers, hoses or shoe soles. Over the last two years Apar Industries has invested significantly in the Polymer Division to expand capacity, improve efficiency and consolidate the entire polymer business at a single production site at Valia (Gujarat). For the fiscal year ending March 2007, Apar’s Polymer Division achieved revenues of INR 1,4 billion (around $ 34 million) and is expecting greater than 30% growth for the fiscal year ending March 2008, following the restructuring of operations and strong market growth.


The acquisition of Apar’s Polymer Division fits perfectly with Eliokem’s expansion strategy implemented since AXA Private Equity acquired a majority stake in the company in October 2006. It will reinforce Eliokem’s synthetic polymer business where it already holds worldwide leadership positions and will notably complement the company’s offerings in nitrile rubber and high styrene reinforcing resins to the rubber industry. The operation is considered as well-timed when major industrial and financial players expect India to become a global manufacturing hub within the next few years.


As experienced peers and major players in the polymer industry, Mr Jacques Collonge, Eliokem’s CEO, and Dr Narendra Desai, Apar’s Chairman, have hailed the move as synergistic for the employees, the businesses and the customers. It meets the common objectives of reinforcing primary businesses and diversifying to adjacent segments through external growth.


“Apar Industries will be able to grow faster in the Power and  Energy sectors through their other two Divisions, Specialty Oils and Aluminium Conductors, which account for 90% of the revenue of the listed Company”, stated Dr Narendra Desai.”


The Apar Polymer Division acquired manufacturing site is located in Valia, a prominent petrochemical region in the Western state of Gujarat, about 400 km North of Mumbai. Significant operational and technology synergies among the RandD and polymer production facilities of the Valia site and those of Eliokem in France and the USA will enhance the value of products and services offered to customers in Asia, Europe, Middle East and North America. Eliokem also intends to use Apar’s Polymer Division as a platform for growth and geographical expansion by leveraging respective sales forces to push Eliokem products in India and Apar’s Polymer Division products into other global markets


“The integration of Apar’s Polymer Division within Eliokem should be facilitated by the long shared cooperation of both the companies in the polymer business based on the emulsion polymerization technology inherited from The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company to make a variety of specialty resins, rubbers and latices through combinations of monomers as diverse as acrylics, acrylonitrile, butadiene, styrene and vinyl pyridine. The new low cost manufacturing platform in India will strengthen Eliokem growth plan both domestically with cagr 10-15% as well as in Asia, Europe and USA”, stated Mr Jacques Collonge.
