Purplan awarded Lower Saxon “Foreign Trade Prize 2012”

Beside the strong and steady growth of Purplan, the jury honoured the promotion of young talents, the technical progress and the sustainability-oriented approach of the plant manufacturer from Wallenhorst, Germany. This is the reason why finally Purplan prevailed against the four other companies from Lower Saxony, which were also nominated.

Since the company's founding in 2003, the number of employees in the headquarters has risen up to 125 until now. As well, additional company sites have been opened: 2009 in Shanghai, 2011 in Freimersheim, Germany, and in the USA. This is complemented by a network of international distribution partners in Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and South Africa.

Purplan supports the plastics industry worldwide in the matter of an efficient and secure storage and processing of liquid materials. The focus lies on polyurethanes and synthetic resins. For doing so, Purplan designs and builds not only tank farms, mixing stations, resin plants and many more, but also provides services such as automation conceptions, process consulting, remote support, trainings etc.

Beside the many customers and projects in Germany, more and more requests come from abroad.

Other examples are projects in the Middle East. Here, Purplan provides extensive on-site support and consulting for the industry regarding the conversion to a HCFC-free production incl. implementing plants and processes according to international environmental regulations.
