About the New Polytype Thermal Coater:
MPI Release has purchased a world-class, high speed, 87" (2210 mm) Wide, POLYTYPE THERMAL COATER for their Greenfield, Indiana plant. Capable of applying silicone to two sides of a web in one pass, the coater also prints in-line as well as applies controlled remoisterization to paper substrates. The acquisition enables MPI to share leadership in the Industry by producing the widest and most diverse range of release-coated Films [.00025"/ 6.4 thin Films and up] and Paper, both with and without extrusion coatings, in widths up to 87" (2210 mm). MPI's technical know-how is 2nd to none, with over twenty-five patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office.
About Acquisition of New, Second Plant During an Unstable Economic Environment:
The acquisition of the plant in Greenfield, Indiana doubles MPI's capacity. The new coater at the Indiana Plant delivers a very vital new curing capability to the Company's state-of the-art equipment line-up, which already includes both ultra violet [UV] and electron beam [EB]. These capabilities, available in widths up to 82", are located in MPI's Winchester, MA, facility. The acquisition not only greatly expands MPI's product offerings but also provides the security and convenience of a climate-controlled facility. With this expansion, the company is well positioned to take advantage of the full range of silicone chemistries available to the marketplace in connection with the engineering and development of controlled or differential release coatings for its growing list of top tier customers. MPI is capable of producing any required Silicone Release Liner.
