| IDES Now Publishing Resin Pricing Reports
LARAMIE, Wyo. – July 7, 2005 – IDES, a plastic materials
information management company, today announced the
published release of their anticipated Resin Pricing
Report. IDES gathers pricing information from over 14,000
resin buyers. They then aggregate the data into a report
that is recurrently updated and available through their
Prospector plastics
search engines.
“To obtain true market price, we work closely with
resin buyers to submit historical material buying information
including grade, product name, special features like
medical or glass-filled, annual volume in pounds, and
the price paid per pound,” said Mike Kmetz, IDES President.
“Already the report is providing value to resin buyers
who can quickly see how their spending compares to the
rest of the market.”
Pricing information is available for all major resin
families (including Nylon, ABS, Polypropylene, etc.)
and placed into three volume categories; less than 10,000
lbs., 10,000 – 100,000 lbs., and more than 100,000 lbs.
Within each category, pricing is displayed from low
to high with a column reporting the average price paid.
If resin buyers determine that they are paying too much
for a particular resin, they can subscribe to IDES’
Prospector Pro with Alternative Resins Search to locate
lower-cost offsets.
The Resin Pricing Report is accessible through Prospector
Pro, an annually licensed data service, and Prospector
X5 which is a complimentary database of plastic material
data sheets for buyers and specifiers of resin.
