Expandable Polystyrene Europe Transcript


The European EPS report monitors prices for block and packaging grade EPS material, in Europe valued in Euros and in the UK valued in Pounds Sterling.


These prices are revised on a monthly basis but the commentary of the report also covers the background dynamics that govern and drive the market. And therefore is just as valuable for the readers in terms of forming their own benchmarks for their prices and the margins on which they need to operate upon.


In order to produce the report we talk to many buyers in a variety of countries, we also talk to distributors; we talk to all the key producers who account for over 90% of the total output in Europe. The market is characterised by long-term stable relationships between producers and their customers.


The report itself is also distinguished by similar long term relationships with our sources, and they recognise the objectivity and the integrity that underlie the report.
