The North American compounding sector takes the spotlight in this week's Material Insights video with Plastics News' senior reporter Frank Esposito. PN's recent compounding report demonstrated that compounders in the region are more optimistic heading into 2010, as customers have showed a renewed interest in new products. The report also featured news from concentrate makers Techmer PM and Ampacet Corp. Both firms are opening new plants in Brazil next year, while Ampacet is adding a site in India as well.
