Stand D2 | Plastics Live Ireland 2026
Meet Hardie Polymers at Plastics Live Ireland 2026 and discover how the right materials, technical expertise and flexible sourcing can help manufacturers overcome production challenges.
Hardie Polymers is a leading independent distributor of engineering and high-performance polymers, with more than 25 years of experience supporting Ireland’s plastics industry.
Established in 1924, the company supplies major brands of specified polymers, with access to over 10,000 grades from more than 350 global suppliers. Serving industries including medical, aerospace, automotive and electronics, Hardie Polymers combines technical expertise with flexible sourcing and reliable supply.
With warehouses in Dublin, Glasgow and Rotterdam, the company helps manufacturers secure the materials they need, keeping production on schedule and within budget.
Hardie Polymers will be exhibiting alongside Victrex as an authorised distributor of VICTREX PEEK in Ireland.
Visitors can meet specialists covering the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, alongside Hardie Polymers’ technical team, to discuss PEEK and the wider range of high-performance polymers.
The team encourages visitors to bring their material specifications, component drawings or production challenges for practical advice on material selection and processing.
“Bring a drawing, a specification or a part that is giving you trouble. You will get a straight answer on material selection and what it takes to process it.”
From rising material costs and restrictive minimum order quantities to extended lead times and demanding specifications, Hardie Polymers helps manufacturers address the practical challenges affecting production.
With access to an extensive global supplier network, the company can source specified grades at competitive prices, identify alternatives, accommodate smaller order requirements and help customers improve supply chain reliability.
Where a material has not yet been specified, its technical team can help identify the most suitable solution for the application.
The objective is straightforward: keep customers’ production on time and on budget, backed by responsive service, technical knowledge and dependable supply.
Having supported Irish moulders for more than 25 years, Hardie Polymers sees Plastics Live Ireland as an opportunity to reconnect with existing customers and introduce its expertise to new manufacturers, moulders and product designers.
The event also provides a platform to discuss recent additions to its portfolio, including post-consumer and post-industrial recycled engineering polymers, EVA and PFAS-free materials.
Hardie Polymers identifies supply chain security and flexibility as increasingly important priorities for manufacturers.
As production capacity and market influence shift towards the Middle East, Asia and the United States, European manufacturers face growing pressures around cost, competitiveness and supply reliability.
Combined with geopolitical uncertainty, these changes make access to a diverse global supplier network more important than ever.
Manufacturers will increasingly depend on suppliers who understand changing market conditions, monitor availability and pricing, and can respond quickly when sourcing requirements change.
Plastics Live Ireland brings together expertise from across the plastics manufacturing sector, giving visitors direct access to specialists in machinery, ancillary equipment, raw materials, consultancy and technical services.
For Hardie Polymers, the value lies in the opportunity for meaningful conversations, practical advice and new industry connections.
“There is a real depth in the exhibitors at the show that spans machinery, ancillaries, raw material supply, consultancy and advice. It’s the perfect opportunity to benefit from that, so come armed with your questions.”
Whether you’re reviewing material specifications, looking for a more reliable supply chain, exploring high-performance polymers or seeking solutions to production challenges, meet the Hardie Polymers team at Plastics Live Ireland 2026.
