Profile

 

Promens is a leading global plastics manufacturer operating over 60 manufacturing facilities in Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. The company manufactures a wide range of products, including packaging for food, cosmetics, chemicals and pharmaceuticals and serves multiple industries such as food processing, chemical and medical industries, as well as the automotive, heavy machinery and electronic industries. Promens incorporates production methods such as blow molding, thermoforming and injection molding as well as rotational molding, of which the company is the largest manufacturer in the world. In total Promens employs some 5800 people.


The largest shareholders in Promens are the investment company, Atorka Group, and Landsbanki.

 

History

 

Promens' roots can be traced to 1984 when local investors in Dalvik in Northern Iceland founded Sćplast to produce double-walled, insulated plastic tubs for storing fish. Driven by demands from the Icelandic fisheries industry to develop a product that extended the quality lifetime of fish, Sćplast developed its revolutionary double-walled insulated plastic tub.

 

The new product was an immediate success, and quickly achieved a strong position on the Icelandic market. Exporting was the logical next step.

 

This proved so successful that Sćplast won the President of Iceland's Export Award in 1993. The same year Sćplast was listed on the Icelandic Stock Exchange.

 

In 2004, the Icelandic investment company Atorka Group gained majority share and took Sćplast off the Iceland Stock Exchange. The following year Atorka formed the Promens Group, which became the parent company of Sćplast, which name was later changed to Promens Dalvik. Promens then acquired Bonar Plastics in 2005 and Elkhart Plastics, Inc. and Polimoon in 2006

 

The establishment of Promens and the growth strategy that has since been followed signalled a major change in product diversity and service. Instead of being specialized in rotational moulding (also called rotomoulding), the group is now active in almost all leading plastic production methods, such as Injection moulding, Blow moulding and Thermoforming.

 

2007     • Acquisition of LLC Zavod Novoplast - a Russian company manufacturing consumer packaging for personal care products

• Acquisition of Decoplast – a French company manufacturing packaging for cosmetic and medical use
• Acquisition of STE Packaging Development – a Spanish company manufacturing packaging for cosmetic and medical use

2006     • Acquisition of Elkhart Plastics Inc., – rotational moulder with operations in North America

• Promens hf established as parent company of Sćplast

• Acquisition of Polimoon - a plastics manufacturer with operations in 17 countries in Europe

2005     • Sćplast China founded

• Promens hf established as parent company of Sćplast

• Acquisition of Bonar Plastics – rotational moulder with operations in Europe and North America

2004     • Atorka gains majority share and takes Sćplast off ICEX

• Tempra acquired – largest Icelandic company in the field of EPS (Expandable Polystyrene Production)

2003     • Acquisition of Plasti-Ned, Holland

2002     • Acquisition of Icebox Plastico, Spain

2001     • Sćplast Asia established in Hong Kong

2000     • Acquisition of Nordic Supplies Container AS, Norway
