Ron Sheu Brings Added Depth in TPE Technology, Formulations, Applications
ROMULUS, MI (January 12, 2011) - Ron Sheu, one of the plastics industry's leading elastomers development and application executives, has joined Alliance Polymers & Services, LLC (APS) as a partner. He is now one of three principals of APS, the others being Roger Huarng and Stephane Morin.
APS is the first of a new wave of elastomers resource options for polymers and services, an independent TPU and TPE distribution firm solely dedicated to product sales, counsel, availability and suitability backed by technical service. The company was founded in 2009 and has become one of the leading elastomers distributors in North America, selling among other product lines, Elastollan® TPUs from BASF and Maxelast® TPEs from Polymax.
His role at APS will complement those of the other two principals by adding depth in applications and development technical expertise for the firm's growing customer base throughout North America. He is an acknowledged senior level technical expert on thermoplastic elastomers and was key to Alliance now selling the highly competitive line of Maxelast® TPEs from Polymax Elastomer Technology. Maxelast TPEs are formulated to compete in quality and processability with every popular grade of existing TPE.
Previously, he was the Market Development Manager with the Styrolux® SBC Business Group of BASF Corporation. Sheu was a long-time employee of BASF in the U.S., having worked for the firm for 20 years. Previous to that, he was with the former GE Plastics.
