Borealis withdraw from the roto moulding powder market

Borealis have announced that they are pulling out of the rotomoulding powder market because of poor demand and price pressures. This is a major concern for all rotomolders because Borealis are a major supplier of technical polymers to the industry.

There are of course other supply options but the loss of one of the leading suppliers is going to limit choice.

We have also seen a further two price rises in rotomoulding materials during the last three months. The industry speculation is that the prices will top out in april - but who knows.

Bob has done his best to secure long term supply contracts but we remain concerned about rising oil prices, currency confidence etc.
