Overview
Polyester and elastane, the most widely used synthetic materials in the textile and packaging industries, rely on a few core chemical raw materials. Fonte Global supplies the raw materials that fibre, yarn, film and engineering plastics manufacturers need through regular shipments.
Periodic or annual supply programmes can be designed together to match long-term production plans.
