An Overview of our Latest Activities and Growth Prospects
Your colour PVB interlayer is now Everlam™
As from January 1, 2016, the transition from DuPont to Everlam will be over and Everlam will be the sole producer in Hamm-Uentrop (Germany) of the historical Butacite® – now called Everlam™ – colour PVB interlayer for architectural laminated safety glass. Everlam™ is the exact same product that our customers have been using for many years, produced in the same plant with the same quality and packaging. So, for those customers who are keen to continue buying consistent quality, order your Everlam™ colour PVB interlayer with us now!
K. SAKAI & CO LTD is our appointed agent in Japan
As of December 2015 K. SAKAI & CO LTD will sell EverlamTM PVB interlayer to Japanese laminators of architectural safety glass. Following our recent announcements in the Americas this new move signals Everlam’s entry into the Asian market as a key part of our growth worldwide in the architectural market.
CEO Luc De Temmerman commented: “Japan is a centre for many key players in the worldwide glass market. To establish our position as one of the worldwide PVB suppliers our presence
in Japan is very important. Daisuke Koyama, a key member of the K. SAKAI & CO LTD organisation, has many years of extensive experience in the PVB business and is a key member of the team. Coupled with K. Sakai & Co Ltd knowledge of the chemical industry and the distribution system in Japan this partnership will be a significant asset to Everlam.”
Daisuke Koyama: “Everlam is still a new name in Japan but its track record of excellent quality products worldwide will help to rapidly establish a presence here too. Japanese customers expect reliable product quality, delivery from a local warehouse and a high level of service. This is just what Everlam promises.”

We have also grown our customer base with new customers located in several areas.
