Polser International, a leader in fiberglass reinforced plastic products (FRP) with headquarters in Turkey, is investing in a warehouse distribution facility in Elkhart County in Indiana. The company was founded in 1980 and is an innovation leader in the design and development of FRP and composite fiber reinforced plastic materials used in the production of RVs, buses, commercial trucks and other transportation industry vehicles.
“Our customers will benefit from shorter lead times, better interaction with engineering and sales, and the most competitive pricing,” said Ahmet Cinar, managing director and owner of Polser International. “We’ve hired an Elkhart native to be president of Polser USA. Greg Glanders brings over 27 years of supplier-side experience, and we are confident that he can help build our quality brand as we serve the RV market.”
The building, equipment, delivery trucks and staffing are scheduled to be complete in the next few months.
“There is a skilled workforce here, an infrastructure ideal for our facility, and we’ve been selling here for the past seven years through a distributor, so the timing is just right to be here in a more permanent way,” said Kagan Armagan, sales and marketing manager for Polser International. “Ahmet and I have been visiting Indiana over the recent years. The community is great, there’s so much potential – it was an easy decision.”
“This is not a start-up company, they have revolutionized the use of modern FRP materials in markets like automotive, building materials (sold through Menards), and other industry within the 70 countries they service,” said Greg Glanders, manager of the Elkhart County warehouse. “I’ve been selling to and assisting OEMs in the RV, marine, bus and specialty vehicle arena for many years, and I believe in Polser’s products. The company is committed to reducing weight and taking out wood in recreational vehicles. We’ll be working with engineering to create lighter weight composites and materials for future applications.”
The Elkhart County warehouse will provide daily deliveries as needed along with customer service and sales support.
Polser International was founded in Izmir, Turkey, in 1980 by entrepreneur and civil engineer Abdulkadir Cinar.
