Kavalan has signed a distribution partnership with Italian distributor Polyedra in a bid to broaden access to its PVC-free printable media alternatives across Europe.
Polyedra, which has operated in the Italian market for more than 30 years, is FSC and PEFC certified, holds ISO 14001 certification and is on track to receive ISO 9001 by the end of the year. It also Unique Environmental Authorisation for its converting centre in Parma and is a HSE Specialist for staff.
Fabio Cosio, Product Manager, Polyedra, said: “For us, sustainability is part of our DNA, and we want to partner with companies that share the same philosophy, both suppliers and customers. Kavalan was the first to propose a product with the quality, printability, and weldability that we required, presented with clear and honest communication. This was ideal for us as we don’t just want to supply PVC-free products, but serve as a reliable partner that can have useful discussions on environmental issues with our end users.”
“The commitment from Polyedra to bring PVC-free sustainable solutions to the Italian market illustrates their passion to drive change. Working closely with the team, their vision, enthusiasm, and willingness to engage is clear and I’m confident they’ll pave the way for PVC-free materials in Italy,” added Rob Karpenko, Kavalan’s European sales director.
