December 07 2017 - 8:30AM
A. Schulman, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS:SHLM), a leading international
supplier of high-performance plastic compounds, composites and
powders, has received the 2017 Automotive Innovation Award from the
Society of Plastics Engineers (“SPE") for Most Innovative Use of
Plastics.
SPE recognized A. Schulman for its innovative material in the
Aftermarket segment together with system and tooling supplier Penda
Corp., material processor Penda/Durakon, and automotive
manufacturer General Motors. A. Schulman’s Polytrope® TPP
1026EU Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomer, an advanced polyolefin
composition, is featured in the award-wining Integrated Floor
Bedliner Divider in the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado.
“We are honored to have won this prestigious award. This
acknowledgement confirms that we are focused on our customers and
committed to innovation,” says Frank Roederer, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of United States & Canada Region
and Engineered Composites at A. Schulman. “This recognition
reinforces the importance of collaboration across suppliers,
processors, and the OEM’s in order to overcome industry
challenges.”
This is the first twin sheet thermoformed bedliner divider that
has been integrated into the bedliner as one piece. With this
new application, the need for a cargo net has been eliminated. This
allows consumers to place small items in the truck bed and reduces
the risk of the items moving or sliding while the vehicle is in
motion.
On November 8, 2017, SPE held its 47th Annual SPE Automotive
Innovation Awards Competition with this year’s theme being
Intelligent Automotive Design with Plastics. This competition
is the largest and oldest of its kind in the automotive and plastic
industries.
