Trinseo Sets New Standard for Compounded Plastics Production

Rapid Response Accelerates Customer Resin Production for North
American Medical Devices, Consumer Electronics, Lighting and Electrical
Customers

BERWYN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Trinseo
(NYSE: TSE), the global materials solution provider and manufacturer of
plastics, latex binders and synthetic rubber, introduced Rapid
Response today, an initiative that allows customers of its Consumer
Essential Markets (CEM) business segment in North America the ability to
have resins produced in an accelerated two week (14-day) time frame.

Typical industry turnaround times can vary from 30-45 days making it
difficult for customers who have time-sensitive jobs and need materials
quickly.

Trinseo CEM established Rapid Response to accommodate customers in North
America that might have unexpected projects, smaller jobs or trial runs
and need smaller volumes before full-scale production. The company’s
most popular materials under the CALIBRE™
Polycarbonate Resins and EMERGE™
Advanced Resins brands can be ordered through the program, in
addition to custom color matching services.

All Rapid Response compounds are custom blended out of Trinseo’s North
America compounding operations. Materials can be sent to either domestic
or international locations.

Rapid Response is another step being taken by Trinseo CEM to
differentiate itself in a competitive marketplace with a value-added
customer service. Large and global in its infrastructure, yet agile in
its service model, CEM supports those customers — targeting the Medical
Devices, Consumer
Electronics, Lighting
and Electrical
industries — that are looking for intimate support, long-term
relationships, and polymer solutions to address their complex challenges.
