THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nexeo Plastics, a leading global thermoplastics resin distributor, has signed an agreement with STFG Filamente GmbH, an affiliate of KuibyshevAzot, a Russian-based chemicals company, to distribute their polyamide 6-based (PA6) products throughout Europe.

“We are excited to join with Nexeo Plastics and become part of their extensive distribution network, providing our customers more choices and outstanding customer service across Europe,” said Dmitriy Rybkin, director of marketing. “The Volgamid™ line of resins offer end users a variety of choices, including sustainable recycling materials for high-end applications.”

Nexeo Plastics will carry and distribute the Volgamid™ ECO-line series.
