Ashland Casting Expands European Presence

 

Responding to demand from European metal casters, Ashland Casting Solutions, a business group of Ashland Performance Materials, which is itself a division of the US-based Ashland Inc., has opened a new office in Ashland’s existing facilities near Frankfurt, Germany. The expansion is intended to provide customers in Germany, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe with the latest technologies in binders and coatings, cutting-edge design assistance, and other services.

“Our new capabilities and added resources in Europe allow us to better serve our customers who are operating metal casting facilities in several global regions,” says Mike Swartzlander, vice president of Ashland Performance Materials and general manager of Ashland Casting Solutions.

Ruben Bake, Ashland’s newly appointed commercial director for Northern and Eastern Europe, amplifies. “Although we have had a presence in Europe for many years, our expanded operations will result in closer relationships and bring bottom-line value to our customers. From this location, we are strategically positioned to bring our design services and other products to metal casters located in the European region.”

Ashland Casting Solutions supplies products, processes, services, and technologies to the global metal-casting marketplace.

Ashland Performance Materials is a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals and customized services to the metal-casting, building and construction, packaging and converting, transportation, and marine industries. It offers metal-casting consumables and design services and several lines of high-performance adhesives, resins, and coatings.

Ashland Inc., a diversified global chemical company operating through four wholly owned divisions, has customers in more than 100 countries.
