ALBIS has obtained the pan-European distribution rights for the polyetheretherketone molding compounds VESTAKEEP PEEK from Evonik, one of Germany's largest producers of specialty chemicals.

The new partnership adds another premium line of high-performance thermoplastics to ALBIS' extensive portfolio and strengthens the company’s position as one of the leading global distributors of thermoplastic polymers. 

The high-performance thermoplastics of the VESTAKEEP® PEEK product range belong to the family of semi-crystalline thermoplastics called polyaryletherketon (PAEK) and are characterized by exceptionally high stability, excellent wear resistance and outstanding resistance to aggressive chemicals. The PEEK-molding-compounds are exceptionally well-suited for producing durable, heavy-duty components, making VESTAKEEP® PEEK the ideal choice for demanding applications in the semiconductor, cable, filament and film production, petroleum production, or automotive and aerospace industries. The various granulate and powder grades from Evonik are also increasingly used in mechanical engineering, food and drinking water applications, and medical technology.

"With its PEEK product line VESTAKEEP®, Evonik is realizing requirements in technically highly demanding applications," says Daniel Stöcker, Senior Director Product Management Performance Polymers at ALBIS. "We appreciate the trust of our new partner and look forward to supporting customers across Europe with Evonik's leading solutions."

"Its exceptional mechanical and chemical properties have seen VESTAKEEP® PEEK advance to an excellent choice for a wide range of applications where durability matters most," adds Dr. Frank Schubert, Head of VESTAKEEP® EMEA at Evonik. "We are excited to see the product line reach even more companies in the future as a result of our partnership with ALBIS."
