Fed- dersen has been cooperating with Aurora Kunststoffe GmbH, a manufacturer of high-quality engineering recompounds based in Neuenstein/Baden-Württemberg. Now the two companies have deepened their cooperation in this area, and the sales re- gion has also been expanded to include the distributor’s Euro- pean subsidiaries. K.D. Feddersen is thus strengthening its wide range on engi- neering plastics and high-quality recompounds in order tomeet the high demand for recycled or sustainable materials and to contribute to the circular economy. The portfolio includes numerous engineering polymers such as PA 6.6, PA 6, ABS, PC+ABS, PC, POM, PPS, PBT and many more.
