About Polypore International Inc.

Polypore International, Inc., a technology filtration company, develops, manufactures, and markets microporous membranes used in separation and filtration processes. The microporous membranes the company produces are polymeric structures that contain millions of pores per square inch, enabling the management of ions, gases and particles that range in size from the cellular to the nano or molecular level.

Segments

The company’s products and technologies are used in two primary segments: Energy Storage and Separations Media.

ENERGY STORAGE

In the energy storage segment, the company's membrane separators are a critical performance component in lithium and lead-acid batteries, performing the core function of regulating ion exchange and thus allowing the charge and discharge process to occur between a battery's positive and negative electrodes.

Electronics applications: The company develops, manufactures, and markets patented polypropylene and polyethylene monolayer and multilayer membrane separators for lithium batteries that are used in various applications, such as personal electronic devices, cordless power tools, EDV's, and electricity grid storage systems.

Transportation and industrial applications: The company develops, manufactures, and markets a line of polymer-based membrane separators for lead-acid batteries. The company supplies to lead-acid battery manufacturers, including East Penn Manufacturing Co., Inc., EnerSys, Exide Technologies, Hubei Camel Storage Battery Co., Ltd., and Trojan Battery Company.

SEPARATIONS MEDIA

In the separations media segment, its filtration membranes and modules are used in healthcare and industrial and specialty filtration applications. These membranes perform the critical function of removing sub-micron particulates from fluids and introducing or removing gases (gasification/degasification) with in liquids. Both healthcare and specialty filtration applications require membranes with precisely controlled pore size, structure, distribution, and uniformity. The company’s supply relationships with customers in healthcare and certain filtration applications, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing are reinforced by the rigorous testing, clinical studies and/or regulatory approval that its membranes undergo prior to end-product commercialization.

Healthcare Applications: The company develops, manufactures, and markets a line of patented polyethersulfone membranes for the hemodialysis market. Hemodialysis is the artificial process that performs the function of a healthy kidney for patients with permanent kidney failure, a condition known as End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

The company develops, manufactures, and markets polypropylene and polymethylpentene membranes for the blood oxygenation market. As a component of heart-lung machines, blood oxygenators temporarily replace the functions of the lungs during on-pump open-heart surgery. The company develops, manufactures, and markets polypropylene and polyethersulfone membranes for the plasmapheresis market.

Industrial and specialty filtration applications: The company produces a range of membranes and membrane-based elements for microfiltration and ultrafiltration, as well as gasification/degasification of liquids, covering a range of applications in the filtration market. The company serves various filtration end-markets, including water treatment, food and beverage processing and pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and flat panel display manufacturing.

MicroPES and DuraPES: These are patented sulphonated polyethersulfone flat sheet microfiltration membranes with very high flow rates, chemical resistance and low protein binding, properties. These membranes are primarily used in specialty filtration applications, such as ultrapure water, cold sterile filtration of beverages, ultrapure chemicals for the electronics industry and pharmaceutical processing.

Accurel: It is a polypropylene membrane, available in flat sheet, hollow fiber, and tubular configurations, which can be used in a range of pH conditions.

Liqui-Flux membrane modules, based on its hollow fiber, polypropylene microfiltration and patented polyethe

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
