Technology developer and manufacturer Demcon has acquired Hengelo-based QL Polymers, a specialist in polymer chemistry, technology and processing. Founder Joost Duvigneau will remain involved as a minority shareholder and managing director of Demcon QL Polymers. The company is committed to “Quality for Life” with plastics that have the potential to improve the quality of life and believes that being part of Demcon will increase its impact by providing access to larger projects and enabling it to develop advanced processing plants. Demcon, in turn, can benefit from QL Polymers’ expertise in polymers, including in projects for sustainable process technology, recycling and medical applications.
