Expanz International , established in 1994 as Maleplas International, has a growing portfolio of satisfied customers with whom they do repeat business.
They currently import and distribute expandable polystyrene (EPS), engineering plastics and other light weight materials, as raw materials or finished products. In addition they offer consulting services to the EPS moulding industry in Australia, New Zealand and specialised projects overseas.
They are importers of process machinery and spare parts for the EPS moulding and plastics industry, taking an interest in process machinery for virgin material processing through to scrap recycling and waste reprocessing. They take a whole of life view wherever the opportunity presents itself. They support machinery acquisitions from individual machines to turn-key facilities and have established a specialist subsidiary called Polymac to extend and develop this business.
They are an SME, focussed on growth of their polymer and machinery portfolio as well as their geographic reach. They continuously look for opportunities to add to their existing core business and competencies aiming to grow their revenues in three ways:
- Seeking new agencies and customers to join their business to create organic growth.
- Looking to employ or establish a business relationship with people that have proven commercial /sales skills with strong supplier and customer relationships.
- Identifying strategic acquisitions.
