About ACE
The automotive industry is evolving rapidly. Stricter emissions regulations, lightweighting demands, and sustainability targets require material solutions that perform under pressure.
Mitsui Prime Advanced Composites Europe B.V., commonly known as “ACE”, develops polypropylene compounds engineered specifically for automotive applications. From our production facility at the Chemelot site in Geleen, we serve the European automotive market with materials designed for interior components, exterior panels, and under-the-hood applications.
Our Heritage
Founded in 2018, ACE represents a partnership between three Japanese shareholders: Mitsui Chemicals Inc., Mitsui & Co, and Prime Polymer. We are the first European plant under the Mitsui Chemicals Group to produce PP compound.
The Mitsui Chemicals Group traces its roots back to 1912 as a coal industry company in Kyushu, Japan. Today, it has evolved into a multinational corporation employing around 17,000 people worldwide, bringing over a century of materials expertise to the European automotive sector.
