Fifty years creating new products.
Poliversal's story was built on relationships of trust and a strong investment in quality and innovation.
Dedicated to researching and developing new raw materials.
Poliversal has an innovative laboratory where a research team works closely with universities and research centres.
Research and development of new products and additive-concentrate applications is a priority for Poliversal, which invests around 3% of its annual turnover in these areas.
For any solution, Poliversal builds a genuine partnership with the client — from identifying the most suitable plastic material, through manufacturing monitoring, to final part approval.
We work to high quality standards.
The great responsibility involved in our service requires us to work to high quality standards. Every element that contributes to a project's success is analysed by our technicians in close collaboration with the client.
Poliversal has invested decisively and systematically in a support structure made up of highly qualified professionals and the best characterisation equipment available.
Our complaint rates are very low and customer satisfaction is very high. We know we can only maintain this by staying attentive to our clients' needs.
Research and development in co-promotion.
Poliversal takes part in co-financed R&D projects that strengthen innovation in materials and processes. One example is WF-NBIOT, co-financed by Portugal 2020 and the European Union.

Plastics are a fundamental element of the modern world.
Poliversal is the result of fifty years of experience in the plastics market, combining Plasteme's know-how in raw-material distribution with the production of tailor-made solutions.
Today it is the exclusive distributor, in Portugal and other countries, of polymers from some of the most respected petrochemical companies. Above all, it adds value to these polymers through the development and manufacture of masterbatches and compounds sold worldwide.
In pigment distribution it aims to be an international player across the main European markets. It is in small-series masterbatch and compound production that Poliversal offers its clients the greatest added value.
Unchanged values, projected into the future.
Almost fifty years on, Poliversal's values remain unchanged. The focus is still on creating new products that exceed client expectations.
