Resin Procurement

If plastics processing is your primary business, you know very well that plastics resins are your largest cost. And if your company has been buying resins for more than a few years, you've experienced first-hand the big changes that have transformed the resin buying world, including:

Resin supplier consolidation through buyouts and bankruptcies reducing your purchasing leverage.
Reduced or lost price increase protection negatively impacting your ability to pass along price increases to your customers in a timely manner.
Resin price increases becoming more frequent and larger, making effective resin procurement a critical everyday task.
Increasingly global resin supply and demand and increasingly global oil, natural gas and raw materials flows affecting your business even if your company produces and sells exclusively in North America.

The Mathelin Bay Difference

Mathelin Bay is dedicated to helping resin processors successfully navigate the new and changing world of resin procurement. We don't sell a "one size fits all" resin buying solution because we understand that every processor's situation is unique.

All Mathelin Bay procurement professionals have at least ten years of experience at plastics processors or producers.

We have the real world experience to, for example, recognize that almost every processor would prefer to keep their current suppliers at a lower cost. But, we will not shy away from letting you know if we are aware there is a risk of your current resins being discontinued, your current supplier going out of business, or a likelihood that your competition could be buying from a more favorable domestic or international supplier.

Mathelin Bay has no financial interests or arrangements of any kind with any supplier.
You always decide whether you want to accept our advice.
We simply dedicate ourselves to providing you with the information that can help you make informed decisions.

Getting Started

Following an initial resin buying assessment, at absolutely no cost to you, Mathelin Bay will work with you to put together a resin buying solution that is as unique as your business.

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