Genesis Polymers Highlights Continuity in Medical-Grade PP and PE Supply

Change has become something of a constant in Europe’s polymer industry. Plants change ownership. Product names change. Supply chains evolve. And for manufacturers, each change brings uncertainty. Genesis Polymers may be a new name, but this polymer provider is built on established experience, established infrastructure and materials with a manufacturing heritage that many of you will already know very well.

Who Are Genesis Polymers and What Do They Supply?

Genesis Polymers Europe was established in 2026 with the ambition to make polymer supply simpler, more stable and more customer focused. Genesis itself is new, but the team includes experienced polyolefins specialists, while the physical distribution of materials operates using the comprehensive warehouse and logistics infrastructure of Ravago.

Today, customers benefit from this company set-up in receiving the responsiveness and personal service of a streamlined team, with the supply-chain infrastructure and experience to deliver reliably.

Where Are Genesis Polymers’ PP and PE Materials Manufactured?

A major part of the Genesis portfolio comes through their partnership with Velogy. Velogy was formed following the acquisition of four European polyolefin production sites from LyondellBasell. These sites are in Carrington (UK), Tarragona (Spain), Münchsmünster (Germany) and Berre (France).

And there is an important distinction here. The ownership and product branding has changed, but the manufacturing and expertise haven’t. Much like the Genesis team carry accumulated polymer distribution experience, Velogy is a company of polyolefin experts who continue the 50+ year legacy of these materials.

KeyForm, AdvyForm and CertyForm: The Velogy Portfolio

The four established European polymerisation plants continue producing PP and PE, with the portfolio now organised under Velogy’s three product brands: KeyForm, AdvyForm and CertyForm.

• KeyForm is the foundation brand, focused on quality, reliability, and day-to-day processing consistency. KeyForm is being used in consumer goods, flexible and rigid packaging, agriculture and infrastructure applications, textiles and apparel.
• AdvyForm is the high-performance brand, designed for applications where enhanced material or processing performance can create measurable advantages. AdvyForm is being used in automotive components, consumer goods, E&E, flexible and rigid packaging, industrial equipment, caps and closures, and much more.
• CertyForm is the highly controlled brand, providing consistency, transparency and strict process discipline for applications where regulatory reliability and trust are especially important. CertyForm is used in medical devices, labware and diagnostic equipment, pharmaceutical packaging, and drug delivery devices.

CertyForm: Continuity in Medical-Grade PP and PE

If you’ve previously specified or purchased healthcare grades produced at the Carrington, Tarragona, Münchsmünster or Berre sites, you may want to know exactly what the transition to CertyForm means.

The short answer is: the name has changed, but the material behind that name has not. The plants of manufacture, raw materials, manufacturing processes, specifications and formulations remain identical. Biocompatibility and extractables and leachables testing continue as previously, and the healthcare and risk management policy is unchanged.

In practical terms, this means users of such materials don’t need to re-specify or move to a material produced elsewhere. Instead, you can continue with confidence under a new CertyForm product name.

What Healthcare Manufacturers Should Do Next

If you are buying medical grade PP or PE, check where it was manufactured in the past vs now. If historically manufactured at one of these sites (Carrington, Tarragona, Münchsmünster or Berre), contact Genesis Polymers to continue receiving the exact same material.

You can find all the Genesis products on their website, with technical data sheets, safety documentation and product regulatory statements, as well as grade-to-grade equivalency documentation. Not sure what your product is now called? Don’t worry, the search functionality on their website allows you to search by the original grade name to find your product.

A Simpler Approach to European PP and PE Supply

The European plastics industry is changing, and you shouldn’t have to navigate that change alone.

“Our job is to understand the application, help identify the right material, provide the documentation and technical support you need, and make the supply side as straightforward as possible.”
