Sintex NP becomes Clayens NP

03/03/2020

Press releaseIssued by Clayens Genas and published as received — not written by Airframer’s editors.

With 90 years of history, we grew from assembly of small electrical equipment to become the European leader in the transformation of high performance polymers and the production of metal-plastic components; Nief, Nief Plastic, Sintex NP, and today Clayens NP...

A new page is turned but the philosophy and basics remain.

Only a few months after changing shareholders with the arrival of a pool of investors led by Siparex, the group changed its name to Clayens NP.

"Clayens of course refers to clay: an ancestral material used in many trades, with properties similar to those of plastics," says Eric Pisani, C.E.O. of Clayens NP.

This name change also coincides with a change in the international development strategy. Firmly established in Europe and North Africa, Clayens NP has just set up in Mexico and the group wishes to make North America a growth driver for the years to come.
