GE Plastics stands alone online

GE Plastics, the engineering plastics unit of General Electric, won't join the online marketplace being set up by rivals. Rather, GE Plastics is comfortable with its own e-commerce platform, which has been operating in the U.S. since late 1998 and in Europe since April, according to corporate e-commerce chief Matthew Espe. "We own all of it and we're doing it alone," he says.
basf, Bayer, Celanese, Dow Chemicals and DuPont plan to launch a joint electronic marketplace for thermoplastics in October. GE Plastics specializes in engineering plastics used in products ranging from car interiors and external panels to communications and electronics equipment casings.
