STEER expands global presence, forays into Brazil and Mexico

STEER, which already has a very strong presence outside India, has appointed Uniflon in Brazil and JMLORD International LLC in Mexico as its representative agents to market its co-rotating twin-screw platforms, advanced EPZ technology as well as specialized components, and service new customers in the area of plastics and polymers, to capitalise on the burgeoning opportunities in these markets.

The company will be introducing its Omega 1.71 Do/Di materials platform, with patented fraction-lobe special elements and advanced EPZ Technology, to give compounders the capability and the control to work with demanding, difficult-to-manage polymers as well as low-bulk density and shear-sensitive materials.

Other offerings include the Mega Special 1.55 Do/Di platform and the 1.49 Do/Di Alpha series, STEER’s proven out-perfomers for standard compounding needs. STEER’s standard replacement elements, trusted by over 5500 lines across the globe, will also be available in these markets.

Atanu Maity, Chief Executive Officer, STEER said, We are extremely happy to partner with Uniflon and JM Lord International. Both our partners bring strong capabilities to attract the right kind of customer base, a critical part of our plan to rapidly penetrate into these markets. We already have a fairly robust presence in the American continent and an entry into Brazil and Mexico will go a long way in capitalising on the opportunities that the continent has to offer. Our advanced technology has got great process capability with control, for compounders in the region to adopt and benefit.”
