Website now also available in French

Particularly for France and French speaking countries the website of KRAIBURG TPE is now also available in French. With the start of the new language version, the company emphasizes the importance of these markets, which have been growing continuously for years.

Waldkraiburg, 22nd June 2011. The web presence www.kraiburg-tpe.com of the globally operating producer of thermoplastic elastomers is in addition to five other languages also available in French from June 2011. „With this step we optimally position ourselves on dynamic growth markets such as France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada or also various African countries and we will further expand our market shares in future,” says Johny Brossard, sales representative at KRAIBURG TPE. With the launch of the French version of the website the company enables customers from francophone countries to easily enter all product information and service and at the same time persistently pursues its global idea. Newly granted approvals also contribute to this, like, for example, the PSA-Renault Automotive, the CSTB Building or the ACS drinking water approval, which supplement a broad range of already existing approvals.

TPE for all requirements
In francophone countries, KRAIBURG TPE is recording a very positive business development, as the high-quality compounds lend to customers an obvious competitive edge and mean an increase of added value in a highly competitive market: TPEs, for instance, can be used in a 2-component injection moulding process, which safes time and money. Furthermore, they show very good bonding properties. The THERMOLAST® M series for customers from medical and pharmaceutical sectors may, for example, replace silicones, medicinal elastomers or PVC and is produced in a separate production unit in Waldkraiburg (Bavaria). The product HIPEX® is used by the French automotive industry as a seal device in the engine compartment. It can withstand exposure to temperatures of up to 170° C and is also resistant to oil and grease. The high-performance TPE allows for chemical adhesion to hard components such as polyamid (PA), polyoxymethylen (POM) and polybutylenterephthalat (PBT). Furthermore, all compounds of KRAIBURG TPE are recyclable environmentally friendly.
