EVANSVILLE, US: Integral Technologies Inc, an emerging light-weighting leader and its wholly owned subsidiary ElectriPlast Corp, a maker of the ElectriPlast line of electrically conductive resins, have signed a long-term strategic alliance with Nova Polymers Inc (Nova) to expand its manufacturing operations at Nova's campus in Evansville, US.
Under the Agreement, Nova will provide manufacturing and laboratory testing for the newly expanded product line of anti-static and static dissipative ElectriPlast. Nova is ISO certified and all ElectriPlast produced will be in accordance with Nova's ISO 9001:2008 certification.
In addition to providing manufacturing, Nova will also supply resin, colour matching, and blend for the new ElectriPlast formulations.
Since 1984, Nova has been regarded as one of the region's premier custom compounders of engineering grade resins and thermoplastic rubber and currently produces a full line of resins including ABS, PP, PC, and their proprietary TPV- Novalast. It operates two plants totalling over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space and currently has an annual capacity to produce over 70 million pounds of resin, along with a full-service lab and custom colouring capabilities.
"Nova has been a strong partnership for us. It would have been challenging to develop our new product line as quickly as we have without their support," stated Doug Bathauer, Integral's CEO.
"This alliance allows us to improve quality and increase volume without the need for capital expenditures or added personnel. Having ElectriPlast produced under ISO 9001:2008 is an additional benefit we can now provide our customers who want to know that the material they receive will be of the highest quality and manufactured under the strictest guidelines. We are continuing to see demand for our new product line and we believe we have the capacity to fulfil this demand for the foreseeable future," added Bathauer.
"The combination of our 30 years of resin compounding and Integral's conductive plastic expertise creates and exciting opportunity for both companies. We are always looking for growth and we're seeing a lot of opportunities in conductive plastic," said Roger Chapman, Nova's founder, President, & CEO.
