LATAM Expansion ABS recently appointed a South American Sales Representative and is active at major plastics industry events, signaling a focused push into LATAM and broader markets. This creates opportunities to target regional processors with ABS core offerings in material handling, blending, desiccant drying, and feeding solutions. Recommended actions include regional lead generation, local service partnerships, and localized quoting with multilingual support.

Feeder Upsell The launches of Thunder Auger Feeder and Lightning Vibratory Feeder in 2025 and 2026 indicate a strong upsell path for existing ABS customers upgrading lines or expanding capacity. Target current installations in plastics processing facilities that require precise feeding and reliable material handling, and bundle feeders with blending, drying, and controls for a turnkey upgrade.

Sustainability Leadership ABS sustainability initiatives such as Zero Waste to Landfill and the Green Team position the company as a green solution partner. This presents opportunities to offer customers waste reduction, recycling automation, and energy efficiency upgrades, as well as maintenance contracts for sustainable equipment and processes.

Turnkey System ABS offers an end to end platform from material handling to controls with vertical integration and ISO processes. This enables selling turnkey systems and long term service contracts to plastics facilities seeking single vendor solutions for modernization, retrofit projects, and predictive maintenance.

Market Outreach Active participation in industry conferences and community programs signals a proactive market approach. Leverage these events to generate qualified leads, co market with ABS, and position offerings to attendees at events such as AMI Polymers in Cables Conference for rapid engagement with decision makers.
