Engineered fabrics Polymer Group expands coatings and printing capacity PGI Canada has expanded its coatings and printing capacities to meet growing demand for its engineered fabrics for building and construction, and other industrial uses.
The company's Fabrene Group has installed a wide-width extrusion coating and laminating line that offers multi-layer capability for nonwovens, paper, foils and films, as well as the ability to coat with specialty resins for a wide range of technical end uses. PGI Canada also announced it will install a new flexographic printing line that offers widths in excess of 144 inches, providing customers with even greater flexibility and shorter turnaround times in delivering customized printed materials for industrial packaging and other uses. The new line will be operational by June. The $8 million investment by Fabrene in new technology for these expansions strengthens the company's position as one of the world's largest manufacturers of coated woven polyethylene. "Building and construction is a growing market for PGI and this investment in new technology will satisfy demand for products like housewraps and roofing membranes that are even stronger and easier to install," said Eric Henderson, vice president sales and marketing, PGI Canada. "The additional printing and coating capacity also will bring more value to our customers." The new technology will enable PGI to provide better service to customers in lumber- and steel-wrap markets, and improve its product offering and performance in specialty laminates, automotive, military and apparel markets. PGI's Fabrene operations provide engineered woven polyolefin materials
for building and construction, protective covering and industrial packaging
