Home / Corporate Profile

Corporate Profile

A leading masterbatch and compounding company, and part of Astra Industrial Group.

Astra Polymers makes high-quality masterbatch — black, white and color — alongside dust-free additive systems and custom thermoplastic compounds for the polymer, petrochemical and plastics-converting industries. We started out in 1993 in the Second Industrial City of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and today operate as a subsidiary of Astra Industrial Group.

For more than three decades we have supplied plastics processors with consistent, dependable color and additive solutions. Today Astra Polymers operates seven manufacturing plants across five countries, supported by a skilled multinational team, modern computer-controlled production lines and a fully equipped laboratory.

Customers come to us for three things: consistency from one batch to the next, technical answers without the wait, and the assurance of an ISO 9001-certified quality system. Whether you need a standard grade or a formulation built from scratch, we work alongside you until the color, the performance and the way it runs on your line are exactly right.

Home / Vision & Mission

Vision & Mission

What we're working toward — and what we promise our customers.

Our Vision

To be the masterbatch and compounding partner of choice in the Middle East, and a global supplier customers trust — known for the quality of our products, the depth of our expertise and service you can count on.

Our Mission

To be the first name in specialty masterbatches, compounds and additive systems for petrochemical producers and plastics converters — without ever losing sight of our customers, our people, our community and the environment.

We get there by improving our TÜV Nord-certified ISO 9001 quality system year after year, investing steadily in research and development, and building the kind of long-term relationships that rest on reliability and trust.

Home / R&D

Research & Development

Where formulations are developed, matched and proven out.

In a plastics industry that never stands still, R&D is how we stay ahead. Our labs develop, match and validate color and additive formulations, then carry them reliably from the first sample all the way to full production.

With modern color-matching, dispersion-analysis and physical-testing equipment on hand, our technical team builds solutions to order, turns around new grades quickly and tests them thoroughly in-house — all backed by a sampling service that lets customers qualify materials with confidence.

Steady investment in R&D — including a long-running additives collaboration with BASF — lets us take on demanding work, from fibers and nonwovens to films, pipe and packaging, and keep sharpening the products our customers depend on.

Home / Production Facilities

Production Facilities

Seven plants across five countries, engineered for consistent supply.

Astra Polymers manufactures at seven plants across five countries — Dammam and Rabigh in Saudi Arabia, Dubai (Jebel Ali) and Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) in the UAE, Çorlu in Turkey, Dahej in India, and Biougra (Souss-Massa) in Morocco. This footprint keeps production close to raw-material sources and to customers across the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Our lines run modern, highly automated, computer-controlled extrusion and compounding equipment, with in-line monitoring that holds tight tolerances on dispersion, additive loading and color. Because the processes are standardized across every site, a grade approved at one plant behaves the same wherever it's made.

Together with seven sales offices and strong logistics partnerships, this multi-plant network gives customers dependable capacity, shorter lead times and security of supply — even as demand grows.

Home / Quality Control

Quality Control

An ISO 9001 system that keeps every batch consistent.

Quality is managed from end to end through a TÜV Nord-certified ISO 9001 system we've maintained and improved since 1994. Every stage, from incoming raw materials to finished product, runs on defined procedures and documented checks.

Our labs check color strength and shade, dispersion, melt flow, moisture and other key properties against agreed specifications. Retained samples and batch records give every lot we ship full traceability.

That discipline is what makes us consistent: the color and performance you sign off on in a sample are what turn up in production — batch after batch.

Our management team and the Astra Industrial Group board.

Management Team

Yehia Elazab

Yehia Elazab

Chief Executive Officer

Our purpose at Astra Polymers is simple: help converters everywhere get color and performance right — the first time, and every time after. For more than three decades we've grown alongside our customers, investing in capacity, people and chemistry so that choosing an Astra masterbatch is never a decision anyone has to second-guess. And as part of Astra Industrial Group, we bring the agility of a specialist together with the backing of a large industrial family.

Rami Zubaedah

Rami Zubaedah

Chief Commercial Officer

Our commercial promise is partnership, not just supply. We work closely with converters and brand owners to match the right masterbatch to each application, market and budget, and we back every order with responsive technical sales, lead times you can plan around, and a presence across the regions we serve. When our customers grow, we grow with them.

Asif Hafeez

Asif Hafeez

Chief Financial Officer

Financial discipline is what lets us keep our promises — on supply, on quality, and on the long-term partnerships our customers count on. We invest deliberately in production capacity, raw-material security and sustainable technology, so growth never comes at the cost of stability. Customers and suppliers are dealing with a company built to stay.

Tony Leon Daponte

Tony Leon Daponte

Technical Director

Every grade we ship starts in the lab. Our R&D and color-matching teams develop and validate color, white, black, additive and special-effect concentrates against the conditions they'll actually face — dispersion, heat history, end-use performance — long before they reach a customer's line. Innovation here is practical: solving the converter's problem with the right carrier, the right loading and the right additive package.

Muhammet Aral

Muhammet Aral

Process Improvement Director

Consistency is a science. We map every step from raw-material intake to pelletizing and keep refining it, so the variation between batches keeps getting smaller. For the customer it comes down to one thing: the grade you approved is the grade you receive, run after run.

Home / Sustainability

Color and performance with a lighter footprint — masterbatch for recycled, renewable and responsibly made plastics.

Helping customers work in more recycled and renewable content, design for recyclability, and bring down the footprint of every part.

Plastics make modern life lighter, safer and more efficient — and managing their impact is on us as much as anyone. For Astra Polymers, sustainability is a simple idea: help customers do more with less. That means masterbatches and compounds that work with recycled and renewable content, support recyclability, and run cleanly and efficiently in our own plants. We don't see color and additives as an obstacle to circularity. Used well, they extend product life, cut waste and make the next generation of responsible plastics possible.

Recycled & circular solutions

Color and additive masterbatches built for post-consumer and post-industrial recycled (PCR/PIR) resins, with correction additives that restore appearance and processability — so converters can push recycled content higher.

Bio-based & renewable carriers

Masterbatches compatible with bio-based and renewable polymers, so brands can raise renewable content without giving up color or performance.

Compostable & biodegradable grades

Color and additive solutions for compostable polymers such as PLA and Mater-Bi, supporting certified single-use, agricultural and organic-waste applications.

Design for recyclability

Mono-material-friendly and detectable colors, including NIR-sortable blacks, that keep packaging compatible with automated recycling streams.

Efficient, responsible operations

ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing with energy- and waste-conscious processes and dust-free additive dosing that reduce off-spec material and rework.

A partner in lower footprint

From formulation through line trials, we work with customers to trim material use, downgauge safely and lower the finished product's carbon footprint.
