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.

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.

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.

Process Improvement Director

Consistency doesn't happen by chance, it's engineered. We bring together deep process expertise, live production data, and advanced manufacturing to raise productivity, hold quality steady, and bring energy use down, keeping our operations leaner and more sustainable along the way. From the first intake of raw material to the final pellet, every stage is watched closely and tuned constantly. The payoff is simple: the masterbatch you approve is the masterbatch you receive, run after run.
