Hamburg/Ho Chi Minh City, June 11, 2026. ALBIS is expanding its portfolio in Vietnam with selected engineering plastics from BASF. The distribution scope includes Ultramid^®, Ultradur^®, Ultraform^® and Ultrason^® and further strengthens ALBIS’ offering for demanding applications in key industries such as automotive, electrical and electronics, consumer goods and industrial applications.
