Featured technology areas at Fakuma 2026, including high-performance polymers, circular and recycled-content solutions, styrenics, and engineering polymers |
One year after its launch, Omya Performance Polymer Distribution will showcase the progress of its global polymer distribution business at Fakuma 2026 (12-16 October, Friedrichshafen, Germany).
Visitors to Hall B5, Booth 510 will have the opportunity to meet the company's commercial and technical specialists alongside representatives from selected principal partners. The booth will feature INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe and CHIMEI, highlighting partnership models that support customers across diverse markets and applications.
Additional represented partners include Avient, BASF, Celanese, DuPont, EMS-GRIVORY, Lucite International, LyondellBasell and SK chemicals. Together, these ten companies demonstrate the breadth of Omya Performance Polymer Distribution's portfolio. Globally, the business works with more than 60 polymer producers and principals, with product portfolios tailored to regional market needs.
Building a connected global polymer distribution platform
"During our first year, we have moved from establishing the organization to building a truly connected polymer distribution platform," said Carsten Harms, CEO, Omya Performance Polymer Distribution.
"We have expanded existing mandates, welcomed new principal partners and continued to strengthen our portfolio. Our vision is to combine access to leading polymer technologies with the local expertise and technical support customers need in each region. Fakuma provides an ideal opportunity to demonstrate that progress and the value it creates for both customers and principal partners."
Established in 2025, Omya Performance Polymer Distribution combines Omya's engineered-materials distribution activities with Distrupol's established polymer distribution business. Today, the organization serves customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the Americas, and Asia Pacific.
Its portfolio spans four core material areas: high-performance polymers, engineering polymers, standard polymers, and rubber polymers and additives.
Featured technologies from INEOS and CHIMEI
The focus on INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe follows the appointment of Omya Performance Polymer Distribution as a major European distribution partner for the company's polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) materials, including specialty polyolefins, ELTEX® MED medical grades, Recycl-IN® recycled-content solutions and bio-attributed polyolefins.
CHIMEI, a global partner of Omya Performance Polymer Distribution, will be represented through its portfolio of ABS, polycarbonate, PC/ABS, ASA, SAN and elastomer solutions, including selected materials from the Ecologue™ sustainability portfolio.
Together with participating partners, the portfolio on display at Fakuma will include engineering polymers, styrenics, polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, rubber and rubber additives, compounds, additives and modifiers, and circular and bio-based solutions.
