Polymeris in the regions

One of the specificities of the Polymeris cluster is to be an inter-regional cluster. It is the result of the merger in 2021 of Plastipolis (a competitive cluster in the plastics sector, which covered the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions) and Elastopôle (a competitive cluster in the rubber sector, which covered five regions: Centre-Val de Loire, where its headquarters were located, Pays de la Loire, Ile-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Nouvelle-Aquitaine from 2019).

Since the beginning of 2021, the Polymeris cluster has been deploying its activities in all 6 regions. It thus covers almost half of the national territory. Addressing from this territory the bordering regions, it has in fact a national dimension. The territorial anchoring of Polymeris is in fact linked to the historical specificities of these 6 Regions in connection with the plastic, rubber and polymer industries.
