Solvay Announces New Thermoplastic Composite Capacity
GREENVILLE, SC — Solvay recently completed the installation of its new thermoplastic composites (TPC) manufacturing facility at its Greenville, South Carolina, site. At full production capacity, the new line will add more than 30 positions at the 27,000-square-foot facility.
The project represents a major milestone in Solvay’s efforts to industrialize its TPC capacity. A key driver for the new facility is growing demand from energy companies, supported by increasing aerospace and automotive demand. The new product line will have the ability to manufacture unidirectional composite tape from a range of high-performance polymers including PVDF, PPS and PEEK.
