During the interview, Mr. Du stressed that the market of
plastics raw materials are at some degree very locally-
diversified. And in order to discover what differences lay
in various regions, companies would need to have enough
sensibility and flexibility to adapt. On this matter, Ever
polymer has been localizing their products to a variety of
markets – including Taiwan, China, and presently in the
ASEAN region and India. Mr. Du believes that being out in
the field, in the exhibitions or setting up branches in the
market are the most feasible ways to expand their TPE
material’s profile. For the coming years, Ever polymer
would focus on the growing economies, India and the
South East Asia countries. Particularly when the wave of
labor forces is beginning to shift to the ASEAN region, it
would create a boost for the demand for TPE. Given the
fact that the company has been deeply rooted in Malaysia
for a number of years, it now enjoys a stable consumption
from the ASEAN region.

Mr. Du emphasized that Ever polymer would stick to the
core of localization in India as well, and supply the market
with suitable medical plastics devices for the mass – such
as films, tubes, stoppers, and infusion bags.
