Continuity of business and customer relationships
For 34 years, Buratec has served as a reliable distributor in the plastics industry, establishing extensive relationships with leading principals in the field. This experience and product portfolio are now integrated into Algol Chemicals' offering.
Buratec's comprehensive portfolio includes:

Business operations will continue without interruption, and existing agreements and supply arrangements are transferred to Algol “as is”. The same products also remain available.
