With this additional equipment, SAERTEX® will expand its focus in North America on the marine and industrial markets. The marine industry, in particular, will enjoy increased flexibility in product customization and wider access to the product portfolio of composite solutions from SAERTEX® – like SAERcore, a reinforcement textile consisting of sandwich complexes with any desired core and cover materials.
The SAERTEX® team will continue its work to make the manufacturer both a competitive direct supplier and a valuable partner to its local and national distribution networks. These efforts will ensure customers continue to receive the same high quality products and customer service they have come to expect, along with the benefits of increased production capacity.
With this acquisition, SAERTEX® will also continue its advancement into the Brazilian market with its newest facility – SAERTEX® Brasil in Indaiatuba, Sao Paulo, BR. This latest addition to the SAERTEX® Group, which began production in 2014, is working to prove its long-term commitment to this dynamic market by increasing its current annual production capacity from 5,000 tons to 15,000 tons of non-crimp multiaxial reinforcements in 2015.
“We are excited to install the machines, increasing the availability of our product line to growing markets across North and South America,” Dr. Christian Kissinger, general manager of SAERTEX® USA said. “With our global reach, enhanced production capacities and continued attention to superior quality, SAERTEX® is well positioned to continue serving our broad range of new and existing customers across a variety of industries.”
