The Compound Company
The Compound Company, with headquarters and two major plants operated in Enschede, The Netherlands, offers three well-known brands: EcoForte®, a range of customised thermoplastic compounds, Yparex®, a range of extrudable adhesive resins and Exxelor™, a range of chemically modified polyolefin-based resins. The company started in 2005 as Resin (Products & Technology) BV, a spin-off from Hartman Garden Furniture. In 2011, Resin (Products & Technology) BV acquired the Yparex® extrudable adhesive resins business from DSM Engineering Plastics, and both companies continued to operate under the umbrella of the RESIN Group of Companies. In 2017 RESIN became The Compound Company.
Today, The Compound Company is also the mother company of Transmare Compounding in Roermond, The Netherlands; and of Resindo, a joint venture located in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has a quality testing laboratory and a separate R&D laboratory, and maintains a strict quality assurance system. In addition, the group has access to research facilities at The Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen and to a number of technical universities and polymer institutes throughout Europe. In 2015, the company built its own centralised warehousing facilities next to its production site in Enschede. The state-of-the-art warehouse stores finished goods, prior to shipment to customers, and will serve the new Plant 2 as well.

YPAREX B.V. FIRST TO MARKET WITH BIO-BASED TIE LAYER FOR GREENER MULTILAYER PACKAGING
ENSCHEDE, THE NETHERLANDS — August 27, 2012 — Yparex B.V., headquartered here, today announced that it is the first supplier in the packaging industry to develop and commercialize an adhesive tie layer for multilayer packaging films that is bio-based (i.e. produced from plant- rather than petroleum-based raw materials). Since this tie-layer resin is derived from 95% annually renewable resources and is fully recyclable, yet meets the same performance specifications as non-renewable petroleum-based polymer of the same family, it offers packaging manufacturers the opportunity to make their products more sustainable because plant precursors sequestered greenhouse gases during their life cycle. However, it also helps protect the packaging industry’s supply chain from price spikes of materials closely tied to the cost of oil and natural gas.
