About Us

If your company processes plastic resins, the answer is often:

Save you a lot of money---and, most importantly, work with you to ensure that resin savings really do reach your Bottom Line.

The answer is as unique as your business. Following a no cost, no obligation, review of your company's buying situation, Mathelin Bay will recommend approaches and alternatives that can lower your costs both in the short-term and on an on-going basis.

If we can't save you money, you won't pay a cent. Period.

We don't sell a "one size fits all" buying solution.

Depending upon the current buying situation, your company's requirements and your comfort level, Mathelin Bay can provide advice and assistance anywhere along a broad continuum that reaches from resin and raw materials information, to negotiating suggestions and alternatives, to even sitting beside you at the negotiating table at your request.

• We can support and educate your sales people in matters related to resin pricing and markets and in support of making your resin buying plan successful.
• We can develop and help implement resin hedging strategies.
• We can develop and help implement resin inventory strategies.

If your company is contemplating buying or selling a plastics processing firm, we can provide a roadmap for reducing resin costs before or after the sale.

If you are a private equity firm with an investment in a plastics processor, we can help you increase your return on investment.

If you are located in North America or Europe we can help bring an international perspective to resin buying---even if you exclusively buy and process in your home country.

We are different from many other consulting firms because we don't just hand you a resin buying plan and then expect that you will do all of the hard work of actually implementing it and achieving savings completely on your own.

If you and your people want to implement the plan on your own, that is certainly your choice---but rest assured that Mathelin Bay will be there and ready to work with you or even sit beside you to help ensure that resin savings really do reach your Bottom Line.

All Mathelin Bay procurement professionals have worked for a minimum of ten years with national or international plastics processing or manufacturing firms having sales of at least US $ 250 million to over US $ 1 billion per year.

We have the real world experience to present you all of the alternatives we believe might benefit your company.

We don't present you only the easy (for us) or noncontroversial (for you) alternatives.

You may not ever want to consider changing your current supplier, for example, but we firmly believe that we have a duty to let you know whenever there might be better, less expensive or less risky alternatives available to you.

• We maintain the highest ethical standards.
• We protect your confidential data and privacy as if they were our own.
• And we have no financial interests or arrangements of any kind with any supplier.

We advocate and negotiate fiercely on your behalf, but we always commit ourselves to treating all of our partners, including suppliers, with the highest levels of fairness, integrity and decency.

Please consider contacting us now, without obligation, to discuss what Mathelin Bay can do for you.
