Americhem Aligns European Region Under Global Brand
CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Americhem Inc., a global leader in polymer solutions, has unified its European operations under the Americhem brand—streamlining customer experience and reinforcing alignment across global quality and manufacturing standards.
'This move simplifies how we scale and serve,' said CEO John Richard. 'One brand delivers clarity, consistency, and confidence.'
The Denmark site supports Americhem's healthcare strategy, producing ISO 13485 compounds for hearing aids, surgical tools, and drug delivery. Clean compounding developed in North America has been replicated, with expansion planned in Asia. Key focus areas also include fibers and building products, where material durability, color precision, and speed-to-market matter most. Local teams now operate fully within Americhem's global systems.
'Customers here get the same responsiveness and quality trusted across our global network,' said Barto DuPlessis, Vice President and General Manager of Europe.
The shift also advances Americhem's 2030 sustainability goals. Denmark leads with 100% renewable electricity and on-site solar, while energy-efficient technologies like ColdPound reduce usage by up to 85% compared to traditional extrusion. With this alignment, Americhem strengthens its commitment to global consistency, local excellence, and sustainable progress.
