Victrex plc Overview

Victrex is an innovative world leader in high-performance polymer solutions and the number 1 PEEK experts (PEEK – polyetheretherketone – is a high performance polymer, typically used to replace metal in demanding applications across a range of industries). Every day, millions of people rely on products or applications which contain our sustainable polymers, from smartphones, aeroplanes and cars to oil & gas operations and medical devices.
