#TriviaTuesday The product in today's question is used in a variety of high-end adhesives and caulking products for automotive, construction and industrial industries. Alterra is a well-known plastics compounder in Seymour's Eastside Industrial Park operating since 2016 and producing plastics pellets for medical, automotive, industrial, household appliance and agricultural products. The core expertise is in technical plastics compounding, elastomers and research and development. Compounding operations are recorded on an hourly basis, including processing conditions, to ensure consistency in production and real-time troubleshooting. Investment firm Beaconhouse Capital Management LLC combined several plastics materials assets to create Alterra Holdings LLC. Chatham, New Jersey-based Beaconhouse acquired all three parts of Alterra in 2016 with a goal of pursuing specialty plastic acquisitions in the elastomer space. It first acquired bioplastics firm Trellis Earth Products Inc. of Wilsonville, Oregon. Trellis had marketed bio-based finished products and operated a bioplastic materials plant in Seymour that it acquired from Cereplast Inc. in 2014. Beaconhouse next became a majority owner of Compounding Engineering Solutions Inc., the Clifton, New Jersey-based compounder, which also includes Harmony Elastomers. CES was co-founded in 1999 by industry veteran Arash Kiani. He now serves as president of Alterra. Alterra Holdings operates another manufacturing facility in Clifton, New Jersey. Both facilities have more than 100 million pounds of compounding capacity. Source: alterraholdings.com
