Plastics converting companies have come under renewed pressure through increasing raw materials prices, says EuPC, the industry's Brussels based body. 'There has been a sharp upswing in prices across the board for most polymers, commodity and engineering, and this is both seriously compromising processors with their customers as well as threatening profitability', said Managing Director Alexandre Dangis.
