Paolo Balboni

Paolo Balboni, the founder of Distrubution-Network (DN) and its specific division in the formulation of polyurethane systems (DN PUR) has been operating in the polyurethane sector for 36 years. He gained his formulation experience at Dow Chemical by covering the role of TS & D (Technical Sales & Development) then TSR (Technical Sales Representative) in the elastomers and footwear sector. Subsequently he worked 12 years at Chem-Trend, a world leader company in the world in release agents where he expanded the contacts and knowledge in the polyurethanes world, integral, flexible and rigid foams for insulation and refrigeration sector as Sales Director East and South Europe accumulating 24 years of technical / commercial experience. Thanks to this important knowledge he decided to found the Distribution-Network from where he can be consider a real expert and  offering consultancy to the world of polyurethane. The name of the company itself indicates that the goal is to offer a bridge, a connection, a network in this varied market. Developing countries or young entrepreneurs who want to start a business in the PU world can turn to DN for a consultation, advice and supply of materials dedicated to their needs, developed for them. The world of polyurethane is dominated by a few multinational companies in the chemical sector that rightly focus their attention on large groups and large customers operating in this sector. They develop excellent raw materials and excellent Polyurethane systems dedicated to environmental needs to achieve certain performances. The small customer who faces this world has objective problems in communicating with those realities and the multinationals do not have the time to dedicate to them for a market logic. DN has the knowledge and the capability to dialogue with multinationals to keep up with technology and at the same time can help the small company to grow and establish itself on the market. There is absolutely no conflict between the two worlds, but you need someone to talk to both of them, which Distribution-Network is able to do. Clearly, in addition to the founder of DN, there is a very strong team that manages production, provides the right service to the customer, assists the customer at the plant, process and technical level. The philosophy or Mission , is to provide a 360-degree service of products, consultancy and support, fast, reliable and serious. The processing of polyurethane is not linked to a single company, WHO PRODUCES THE POLYURETHANE, but depends on the machine that mould it, the type of mould used, the release agent I am using, the color paste I use, the environmental conditions and other factors that you absolutely must know to get a good product. This is the strength of DN to collaborate with all companies in the sector to achieve the goal of producing a good products.
