Galata took life on April 30, 2010, just six months ago this weekend, but in that short time span it has rapidly introduced new products, hired 30 additional staff and renewed its focus on emerging markets such as Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe, according to Eric Wisnefsky, the supplier’s president and CEO. Galata Chemicals is the new name for the former PVC additives business of Chemtura, and in fact here at the K is sharing a stand (6E24) with its former parent.
