The group has a research and marketing facility in Slovenia and serves a wide variety of markets. The worldwide impact modifier market was valued at approximately $3.9 billion last year.
Around three years ago, the group started with commercial sales to polymer compounders across several markets, which include medical, aerospace, automotive, construction, packaging, consumer products, and clothing.

It strives for collaboration with refiners for the development of grafted products and aims to obtain more long-term orders.
GraftBio, which is a new division of the group, was launched last year for exclusively developing intellectual property targeting Bio or Pharma applications. This included providing better solutions for drug delivery systems, which have been negatively impacted during the pandemic.
