Ascend Performance Materials has purchased Eurostar Engineering Plastics, a compounder based in Fosses, France. Eurostar’s broad portfolio of flame-retardant engineered plastics and expertise in halogen-free formulations “fit well within” its portfolio and manufacturing capabilities, said Ascend Performance. The Houston-based company is a global provider of high-quality plastics, fibers, and chemicals, and is reportedly the largest producer of PA66 resin. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
