Buriasco, 15 July 2019 RENOLIT GOR S.p.A., a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic and thermoformable materials for the global automotive market, has responded to growing global demand for RENOLIT TECNOGOR. The RENOLIT COMPOSITES business unit has added a new production line to the APPL GOR Plastics India Pvt. Ltd. plant for customers in India and the Asia
Pacific region. The new extrusion line, located in Pune, near Mumbai, is the first facility outside of
Europe able to produce, clean, safe RENOLIT TECNOGOR thermoformable sheets and rolls, along with other lightweight, 100% recyclable, sustainable products in the RENOLIT COMPOSITES range.
The installation of the new line in Pune was celebrated at the official inauguration event earlier in the year attended by COO Dr. Axel Bruder from the RENOLIT Group Executive Board, CEO Fabrizio
Carello and CFO Mauro Piccolo from RENOLIT GOR S.p.A., and Rahul Chivate, General Manager of APPL GOR Plastics India.
A key feature of the new production line design is the inclusion of RENOLIT's patented extrusion processing technology for manufacturing the innovative, new, 100% recyclable, RENOLIT
TECNOGOR glass fiber (GF) reinforced, PP based, lightweight thermoplastic composite material.
High quality 3D trim parts can be consistantly thermoformed in a high productivity glue free' onestep-process, which reduces production costs.
Thanks to the unique production process, RENOLIT TECNOGOR has superior stiffness and impact performance. The patented fiber embedding extrusion technique also makes RENOLIT
TECNOGOR a clean, very safe material to use on the shop floor and handle post moulding. This is because all the glass fibers are completely encapsulated in the PP polymer matrix during extrusion,
so there are no free floating fibers in the air during lay up or exposed on the moulded part surface.
This will be a major safety benefit to customers in the Indian market, which currently mainly uses glass fiber mats to produce composite moulded parts.
