KRAIBURG TPE & ANDERS Joined forces

ANDERS and KRAIBURG TPE have maintained a business relationship since the beginning of 2024 and have officially joined forces to locally represent KRAIBURG TPE in the Latin American market. This partnership aims to increase the presence of thermoplastic elastomers manufactured by KRAIBURG TPE, known for their exceptional elasticity, thermoplastic processing, flexibility, and adhesion to various substrates, targeting the consumer, industrial, and medical markets.

KRAIBURG TPE has over 30 years of experience, and combined with ANDERS' reach and over 60 years of expertise in the plastics industry in Latin America, they strive to provide efficient and successful custom material solutions. With ANDERS' regional knowledge and KRAIBURG TPE's technical expertise in TPE, the alliance proves to be mutually beneficial.

"With a notable market presence in Mexico, and a thorough market analysis conducted in specific South American countries, we understood that the demand for TPE in Latin America is prevalent, and to participate in it, we needed a strategic partner to help us achieve our growth objectives in strategic regions such as Peru, Ecuador, Chile, and others. ANDERS has been the precise component for the Andean region, particularly in Peru," stated Alberto Oba, Sales and Marketing director of KRAIBURG TPE Américas.

Successful Applications  

KRAIBURG TPE and ANDERS have succeeded in various market segments, including grips for sports applications, grips/seals for containers, and wearable devices. Pharmaceutical packaging has also been a successful market segment for both organizations.
The new partnership will provide consistent, high-quality TPE and exemplary customer support to ensure customer satisfaction. ANDERS' resources, along with their strong strategy in the South American region, align well with the core values of KRAIBURG TPE.
