founded in January
1985 by Ian Michie,
who is currently the
CEO and retains 100%
ownership of the

founded based on the

mining and
industrial
applications.

techniques developed
by Ian Michie in
co-operation with
raw material
suppliers,
Polyurethane
Developments has
been able to satisfy
the demand and has
quickly gained the
reputation of
producing high
quality polyurethane
products.
The enterprise has
been profitable
since its inception
and expects to
significantly
increase its share
of the polyurethane
casting market
within the next 5
years.
