Compounder RTP increases its film extrusion footprint

Now the company has expanded this division once more with its most recent purchase, the Dupo, IL extrusion facility of Omnova Solutions. The Dupo facility will join RTP’s sheet and film division, and the compounder says it intends to retain all current personnel and equipment at the 40,000-sq-ft (3715-sq-m) facility. Peter Ploumidis, president of RTP’s sheet and film division, said the acquisition expands Wiman’s capabilities, capacity, and geographic presence. In particular, Wiman’s medical- and industrial-film product lines can now be extruded as thin as 1 mil compared to the 4-mil thick products it already had offered.—[email protected]
