Pardos Marketing activities
Pardos Marketing is an international, industrial marketing consultancy, located in France, specialized in the plastics industry.
Created in 1979, Pardos Marketing rapidly established a reputation for professional, in-depth analysis of plastics production, converting and downstream applications.
Emphasis is on perspectives of the plastics markets, new products and trends, polymers in competition, to provide recommendations for the best strategy of the client companies.
With the ever increasing flow of information, the tide of numbers to drown into, the first task is to sort, to gather and to analyze only the significant data, in order to extract meaningful patterns and strategic knowledge.
Pardos Marketing focuses on knowledge, not data, with continuous update of information on the plastics industry worldwide. The main problem facing all analysts is that data are now gathered faster than they can be used, making interpretation and intelligence most essential.
Other key features of the Pardos Marketing approach are a thorough technical knowledge of the topics under study, appreciation of the context and scope of individual sectors, a highly developed network of international contacts and tried and tested interview techniques.

A study of plastics films worldwide, published in 2004, is also being updated. |
