PREMIX IN THE US

Your trusted compounding partner in the US for electrically conductive plastics.

We are experts in polymer compounding, especially in carbon black based plastic material solutions. We serve many industries and application areas. Our modern facilities in the Charlotte region, North Carolina will offer a wide range of polymer compounds as of 2025.

Operating globally and locally with manufacturing plants on two continents

The vast majority of the specialty compounds of Premix are exported from Finland to customers in over 40 countries and are used in numerous different applications, for a variety of industries. Premix Oy’s headquarters and modern manufacturing facilities are located in Rajamäki, Finland.

Our new plant is being built at Apple Creek Corporate Center in the Charlotte region, North Carolina. It will nearly double our pellet production capacity and offer our customers a better global supply of electrically conductive plastics. Our state-of-the-art plant will encapsulate our experience dating back more than four decades in developing and manufacturing electrically conductive plastics and is designed to cater to the most demanding material needs.

The compounds and concentrates are suitable for a wide range of processing types, with several base polymers (PP, PE-HD, PE-LD, PE-LLD, EVA and PE), and have high and durable conductivity and excellent dispersion. They are easy to process, recyclable, and resist wear and tear very well.

Our customers will benefit from our future ability to deliver high-quality materials from two continents as well as a more resilient supply chain.

Premix history in the United States

The Apple Creek project kicked off in May 2022. We opened a temporary office in Belmont, NC in 2022, and have been building both the plant and the organization since then.  The new manufacturing plant and office are advancing in steps. The office moved from Belmont in March 2024, the warehouse offering local storage for our customers will be ready by Q4 2024, and the first customer deliveries manufactured in Apple Creek are planned to take place in Q1 2025.

Dallas, NC 28034
USA

Family-owned Finland-based Premix Group is a market leader and a global forerunner in electrically conductive plastics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Premix ensured the rapid growth of global PCR testing through fast production scale-up and 100% supply accuracy of electrically conductive plastic, the key raw material of robotic automation pipette tips.​

The US Department of Defense, working with the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded in May 2022 a $79.9 million contract to Premix, Inc. to establish a plastic compound manufacturing plant in North Carolina.​ The facility will primarily produce plastic materials for diagnostic testing and help secure critical diagnostic supplies in the United States, and better serve Premix’s global customers.​
