-The company delivers unmatched solutions in terms of quality, performance and reduced carbon footprint LONDON,Sept. 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent research on the plastics used in water infrastructure in which pressure pipes was a key market, Frost & Sullivan presents SABIC with the 2012 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement. A leading provider of polyolefin solutions for a wide range of typical applications with a specific focus on the pressure pipe market segment, SABIC's proactive initiative and in-depth understanding of the pipe manufacturing process has helped it create an ocean of opportunities for the customer to optimize operational efficiencies. The company's value chain partnership approach of working closely with the customer to understand unmet needs at each stage of the pipe manufacturing process is clearly demonstrated in its SABIC®Vestolen A RELY bimodal HDPE product line. SABIC®Vestolen A RELY grades bring together proprietary knowledge in terms of catalyst, resin and extrusion technology with designs that offer unique properties. This in turn has helped processors optimize the efficiency of their operations depending on the production capacity as well as the size of the pipes. It has also helped in reducing the carbon footprint associated with pipe production. "By developing customized process-oriented solutions, SABIC has strived to attain a balance between product performance, sustainability and customer expectation," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Deepak Karthikeyan. "In a visionary move, the company has streamlined its efforts in the bimodal HDPE pipe market segment according to specific megatrends in the energy and water sectors, which have enabled the company to further strengthen its position in this mature market." "The company has always moved ahead of the market by trying to design products that offer advantages not only to the pipe manufacturers but also to contractors and network operators because the SABIC®Vestolen A RELY bimodal polyethylene brings to the table, state of the art mechanical properties," noted Deepak Karthikeyan. Overall, SABIC's approach in focussing on the overall solution rather than the product alone has played a huge role in customers choosing to partner with it, increasing its customer base and consolidating its position for the future. In recognition of these factors, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present SABIC with the 2012 Frost & Sullivan Customer Value Enhancement Award in the European bimodal HDPE market for pressure pipes. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment
