Additionally, TenCate will also tap other segments like space, satellites, radomes and select aerospace high temperature end-user applications through the expansion and upgrade.
Following the acquisition of Amber Composites, TenCate put in place strategies that will support growth within its target markets and build on a strong portfolio of legacy products with proven capability.
This includes the heritage TenCate AmberTool HX-series of tooling prepregs and pre-impregnated materials for the high performance automobile markets.
Nick Tiffin, Sales Director at TenCate Advanced Composites EMEA said, “We clearly see the need for investment in Europe and balancing our manufacturing technology capability and capacity with the North American activities of TenCate, which has itself seen significant growth in previous years.”
The additional increase of both capacity and capability is scheduled to be ready by mid-2015. (AR)
