SA Polymer Technology (previously SA Plastics, Composites & Rubber magazine) was launched in 2002 by Summit Publishing, based in Cape Town and owned by publisher Martin Wells. Martin has more than 30 years’ experience as a journalist and editor focusing on the polymers industry and is an active member of the Plastics Institute of Southern Africa.

The magazine has grown significantly since its inception, as too has Summit Publishing, with Martin at the helm of a team comprising Emma Rowberry (editor), Corbyn Allan (editorial assistant), Heather Peplow (publisher’s assistant), Lowrie Sharp (business manager based in Johannesburg), and various correspondents around the country.
