With the appointing of Melissa Monster-van Golverdingen as Managing Director of PolyMX BV, the Management Team has been strengthened. Since 2002, Melissa has been involved with the family business, established in 2000 by her father Cees van Golverdingen. In her new position, she will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the business and strategic decision making.
The development of Polytop MX, a durable synthetic ejection material introduced to the market by PolyMX in 2007, marked the start of growth at the business. Having spent some time in ICT, where Melissa was employed at Triple P as Marketing Manager, she decided in 2010 to focus fully on the marketing and sales of PolyMX, to further direct the growth of the company. Among the results of her efforts are a partner programme with very reliable and forward looking partners throughout the world and since 2017 membership of the CITO Group. This has led to a further acceleration of all developments. As a consequence, the business will be moving to larger premises in mid-2018, with additional production capacity, a new, modern fleet of machinery and further automation.
Cees van Golverdingen is taking a step back in the business, but will continue to be involved in the background. He will remain as consultant and co-developer for new products. This year the company expects to introduce a number of innovations including the Shore A10, a solution for the problems of tearing in recycled corrugated board.
