On November 15, 2022, a workshop was held at the head office of UTS Group in St. Petersburg.

This workshop was organized with one of the world's leading manufacturers of PVC additives, and it was timed to coincide with the opening of a plastics laboratory at the company'snR&D Center.

Our new laboratory is equipped with the most modern equipment, which makes it possible to prepare mixtures based on polymers and determine their physical and mechanical properties, including hardness, thermal stability, fractional composition, and impact resistance. The equipment also makes it possible to evaluate the light transmission capacity of films and the surface of products made of PVC and other polymers. In addition to stationary equipment, the laboratory has mobile devices that make it possible to conduct basic tests directly at the customer's site.

“Despite our achievements, in the field of polymers and additives for their processing, UTS Group is at the very beginning of its journey. This workshop with our key partner, as well as the opening of the laboratory, is the most important step in the implementation of our leadership strategy in the segment of distribution of these products in the markets of Russia and neighboring countries” - said at the opening ceremony the President of UTS Group, Andrey Anatolyevich Shkola
