This segment is taken from a seminar that the company presented at an international cable conference in 2009, during the height of the financial crisis. This presentation makes a compelling case for Self Compounding, discussing in detail the many derived benefits, besides the obvious monetary savings rationale. Also included in the presentation are the pertinent steps a company should undertake in deciding on a competent technological supplier for its Self Compounding process. Potential customers can calculate for themselves the potential savings they would gain in Self Compounding using actual cost of raw materials available to them and the cost of importing the additives that Plexchem Technologies provides.
