Airtech Europe upgrades vacuum bagging materials production capabilities

Airtech Europe continues to develop and enhance its products and services to help composite part manufacturers to reduce their production costs: the Luxembourg division of Airtech Advanced Materials Group doubles the size of its plant and covers now 14.500sqm. The 8000 sqm expansion of the existing Luxembourg facility will accommodate more warehouse space and production equipment including a separate area dedicated to custom engineered products. This expanded line will progressively come on stream in the next few weeks. The new kit line will greatly increase the capacity and capability of producing vacuum bagging materials into customer specified shapes. Airtech kitted materials help composite part manufacturer by reducing production time, eliminating waste and controlling cost. Airtech, partnering with the customer, directly supports the lean manufacturing process.

Airtech Europe had already added new office space in July 2007 in order to dedicate more manufacturing space to value added services and new products in the existing building. Nevertheless, the continuous growth of the composite market has made more important changes necessary for the plant. Thanks to the doubling of the size of the Airtech Europe plant, customers will benefit from a larger range of milestone in corporate site development strategy.
