Tnemec Expands R&D Facility and Upgrades Capabilities
KANSAS CITY, MO – Tnemec Co. Inc., a manufacturer of protective coatings and linings, opened the doors of its new research and development (R&D) facility on March 30, 2017. This expansion of the company’s current manufacturing plant in North Kansas City, Missouri, includes an upgrade that doubles the size of its previous R&D laboratory and office space while making notable improvements to its testing and ventilation equipment.
Among the upgrades, a new chemical immersion room allows Tnemec’s R&D team to conduct more expansive performance testing, including in-house autoclave tests and severe wastewater analysis testing. Several updated fume hoods were also installed to handle tougher testing protocols.
