Repositioning polymeRs
MD Mike Boswell approached Voice for a rebrand to
better communicate how Plastribution collaborates
with manufacturing clients on their injection moulding,
extrusion and blow moulding challenges.
“With the input of Voice our business marketing
activity has moved from being project-based to being
an integral part of our daily business lives.” For us
there has been a very clear return on investment,
enhancing our business performance despite
challenging economic conditions.”
Mike Boswell – Managing Director

Brand strategy & execution
We took the time to understand Plastribution, its customers and the polymers market, to identify the core pillars of expertise, innovation and process which differentiate the business.As well as designing a visual brand identity and creating a tone of voice to re-position Plastribution as a credible partner for manufacturers across sectors including automotive, construction
and healthcare, we developed a sub-brand, Know-How for a range of publications and resources to firmly establish Plastribution as a thought-leader in the plastics industry.With sales up 59%, Voice has delivered a very clear return on investment, and Plastribution is now positioned as the UK’s leading distributor of plastics raw materials.
