Baerlocher is the globally leading supplier of additives for the PVC industry in the region. With its presence at the fair, the company shows its long-term commitment to the Brazilian market.

“As many of the largest plastics producers are located in the south of Brazil, the Interplast 2014 is the perfect opportunity to meet our existing customers and to establish business with new customers,” says Juarez da Silva Costa, General Manager of Baerlocher do Brasil. “The PVC industry is facing some challenges lately in conventional applications. In order to overcome this situation, Baerlocher offers innovative solutions for emerging applications like PVC roofing and for the design of PVC houses. Our innovative and cost-effective solutions enable the plastic producers to stay competitive.”
