In October, our team was at the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen – not only to present the Meraxis Group, but also to talk about current topics in the plastics industry with partners, customers, and industry experts. Stimulating discussions, valuable contacts, and insights into current challenges and developments made the trade fair a highlight of the year for us.

The global polymer distributor Meraxis is reinforcing its management team: Olga Baburina is assuming leadership of Global Sales and Dr. Mattis Gosmann is taking over as head of the Standard & Performance Polymers Division at Meraxis. These two management additions are strengthening the company’s global polymer purchasing and sales operations to support continued growth. Meraxis is one of the world's leading plastics distributors. The full-service provider's one-stop shop supports customers in the strategic procurement of polymers and polymer-related products.

We successfully helped Slicky Baggers, the Swiss manufacturer of cornhole bags, in finding the ideal filling granulate for its bags. Cornhole, one of the fastest growing sports in the world, is extremely popular, especially in summer and autumn. Slicky Baggers has now introduced the popular sport to Switzerland.

Meraxis will showcase its one-stop shop from October 15 to 19, 2024 at the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, one of the leading international trade fairs for plastics processing. The global distributor will spotlight its expanding range of digital solutions at the trade fair. These are designed to streamline business processes of polymer processors and promote their sustainability activities. Meraxis will be unveiling several new tools and features at the trade fair. The full-service provider's digital solutions complement its wide-ranging product and service portfolio, which includes polymers, additives, and investment goods, such as tools, machines, and trade parts.

Educing CO2 emissions is an increasingly important task for a number of players in the plastics industry. For this reason, a project by the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse) has made this its mission and is setting its sights on digital solutions. Meraxis is part of the team because of our expertise in digital transformation and us acting as a multiplier in the plastics industry.

Transparency makes our supply chains at Meraxis efficient and safer. The tried-and-tested digital «Track & Trace» solution used by our scheduling team plays a central role here. During the fourth quarter, our customers will now also receive access to real-time data of their shipments. This allows them to track their deliveries at all times.
