MOSCOW (MRC) -- PolyOne Corporation, a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, has announced that Robert Bindner is being promoted to the position of President of Performance Products & Solutions (PP&S), said the producer on its site.
He replaces Don Wiseman who is taking a leadership opportunity with another company.
Mr. Bindner joined PolyOne's predecessor company BF Goodrich in 1988 and thereafter ascended in his career through various sales and commercial roles of increasing responsibility - in PP&S; Color, Additives & Inks; and Distribution. For two years he served as Vice President of Asia, where he helped to improve collaboration among PolyOne businesses and functions, thus accelerating growth in the region that continues today. Most recently he served as Vice President and General Manager for Color and Additives in the Americas.
"Rob is a proven and inspirational leader whose career at PolyOne has been defined by his ability to lead teams that serve customers with excellence," said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and CEO, PolyOne Corporation. "He has played an instrumental role in the transformation of our Color segment, and I am excited to have him now lead PP&S."
Mr. Patterson added, "I'd also like to thank Don for his time and contributions at PolyOne, as he helped to build our PP&S team and further refine the segment's strategy toward specialty. We wish him all the best in his new role outside of PolyOne."
As MRC wrote before, in January 2018, PolyOne Corporation announced the acquisition of IQAP Masterbatch Group S.L., a privately owned and innovative provider of specialty colorants and additives based in Spain with customers throughout Europe.
PolyOne Corporation, with 2018 revenues of USD3.5 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions with operations in specialty polymer formulations, color and additive systems, polymer distribution and specialty vinyl resins.
