End-user industries are stepping up the demand and supply of high performance polymers for plastics used in engineering materials. As businesses and consumers become more discerning when it comes to the usage of plastic materials, DEM continues to develop more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for industries in the market.

Our innovation center in South Korea, established in 2019, has also helped the company to develop and customize new products for the local market.

As well as providing updated market trend research data, we also continue to recruit technical specialists to further support market penetration for DEM’s solutions.
