Two more organisations join Eurobitume

Petroineos Services France SAS, which specialises in the marketing of refined products, and LCY Chemical Corporation, one of the largest producers of SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene), are the latest two organisations to join Eurobitume - the first reference for bitumen in Europe.

Eurobitume Director General Siobhan McKelvey commented: “I am delighted to welcome Petroineos as a Core Member of Eurobitume and LCY Chemical Corporation as an Associate Member. Having chosen to join our expanding Eurobitume family, both companies can now benefit from a wealth of expert advice, technical information, industry data and safety guidance, and play an active part in the development of the bitumen industry in Europe.”

Gacem Benazzouz, Marine Fuels & Bitumen Business Manager of Petroineos Services France SAS, commented: “Following our successful entry into the bitumen market at the beginning of the year, it was important for us to be part of Eurobitume and participate in the safety and sustainability of our European bitumen industry.”

Robert Gregan, Global Senior Business Consultant at LCY Chemical Corporation, explained why his organization wanted to join Eurobitume: “We are delighted to become an associate member of Eurobitume. Polymer modified bitumen has an ever-increasing role in improving the performance of roads. Eurobitume promotes quality bitumen and its advantages, so we had to join in.”
