Norplex Micarta’s New Factory to Feature Wide Format Pre-Preg and Sheet Capabilities

Advanced technology and state of the art quality control procedures will be the defining features of Norplex-Micarta’s new factory in Changzhou, China, scheduled to open in early 2013. The factory’s technological innovations include custom-made machinery capable of producing pre-preg material and finished sheets wider than the industry standards. Norplex’s new factory will be able to produce pre-preg up to 152.4 cm wide and finished sheets with a 139.7 cm width. The standard industry widths are 127 cm for pre-preg and 121.9 cm for finished sheets.

 

“Technological innovation and customer satisfaction are two of Norplex-Micarta’s foremost objectives. In several industries, a larger sheet size yields both technological and economic benefits. Customers who have asked for larger sheets will soon have this option with the capabilities embedded in our Changzhou facility,” said Jon Thorstenson, Engineering Manager.
