Here at Kolpino in Saint Petersburg stands Global Colors. Global Colors is not just a factory. It’s a testament to international collaboration and innovation in the plastics industry.
Established in 2006, Global Colors z.a.o. acquired an existing masterbatch factory here in St. Petersburg. A masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments or additives encapsulated during a heat process into a carrier resin. This is then cooled and cut into a granular shape. Masterbatch allows the processor to colour raw plastic polymers economically during a plastics manufacturing process.
