A producer of value-added master batch and engineered compounds for the plastics industry, the privately held, family-owned company is part of the Department of Energy's Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation consortium, which groups 122 company partners and members, including Techmer PM through its subsidiary, Techmer ES. The subsidiary was launched in 2004 to develop products that can operate in extreme environments of temperature and stress, says the company. After touring the Techmer PM plant, Obama announced the creation of a $250 million manufacturing innovation hub aimed at strengthening U.S. leadership in next-generation composite materials.
The visit of the Southern California facility on Sept. 10, which is free and open to SPI members and nonmembers, follows a technical workshop that will address the following topics:
Is Solar Energy in Your Future? A Look at Solar and Alternative Energy. Speaker: James Reeve, Founder & CEO, Newport Power.
