Plastic is key to water filtration system
Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is a key material supplier for Ultrazur 450, a new water filtration system, the largest of its type, introduced to the market by Ondeo Degremont, Paris.
This decision is a direct result of the significant increases which Quadrant EPP has incurred in raw material, energy and transportation costs.
In particular, the escalating cost of benzene, the main feedstock of most engineering plastics, has been a primary cause of these price increases.
Although Quadrant EPP operates a company wide programme of continuous improvements and regularly implements new measures to improve productivity which help contain costs, the new price increases have been unavoidable given the substantial increases in materials and production related costs.
Quadrant does not foresee any relaxation of this cost situation in the near future.
