Dear Sir,
Stephen Odd who has previously worked with you from our company has resigned and I have taken over product management of gum rosin, hydrogenated gum rosin, pentaerithritol ester of rosin and malic modified rosin.
I am keen to develop these products within our customer base in Australia and new Zealand.
For your interest I am including the latest market information from Australia that we have in our data base.
Gum rosin C.A.S number [8050-09-7]
We have about 50 customers listed purchasing approximately 4,225mt per year of which we secured business last year of only 100mt. I want to grow this!
Last year of all rosin products ('Rosin spirit and rosin oils, and run gums (excl. ester gums, rosin and resin acids and derivatives thereof). 4,700mt were imported into Australia.
Hydrogenated gum rosin C.A.S number [65997-06-0]
We have 2 customers listed purchasing approximately 878mt per year of which we have been unable to secure any business. I want to grow this!
Pentaerithritol ester of rosin C.A.S number [68333-69-7]
We have 2 customers listed purchasing approximately 607mt per year of which we have been unable to secure any business.
Last year of all ester gums 1,116mt were imported into Australia.
Malic modified rosin C.A.S number [8050-09-7]
We have only uncovered very small usage of malic modified rosin in Australia. We would appreciate any suggestions as to where and how we could promote this product.
Last year of all Rosin and resin acids 2,800mt were imported into Australia.
Can you please advise current pricing and availability indications for these products. I would also be very interested in any application information and promotional material you may have to help me develop these product lines in our market.
I am particularly interested in Gum Rosin.

Beth Strachan
