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.
