Polyclad Laminates, Inc. has announced that it will invest over $6,000,000 to expand and advance laminate and prepreg manufacturing at the company's Elk Grove, California facility.
Currently, Polyclad Elk Grove manufactures prepreg materials. The substantial investment will expand the operation's manufacturing capabilities to include laminate materials. Polyclad standard epoxy, halogen-free and polyimide laminates, as well as high performance TURBO-CAF resistant laminate and prepreg systems will be fabricated at the site.
State-of-the-art clean rooms that will meet Class 1000 standards, vacuum presses, automatic build-up lines and highly automated fabrication equipment will be installed. Completion of the expansion is anticipated in the third quarter of 2003 and is intended to reduce Polyclad's overall operating costs, while improving product quality and consistency.
