Chomarat, a leading player in the global engineered textile sector, is expanding its Tunisian plant in Grombaliaand has announced an increase in its production capacity of multiaxial glass fiber reinforcements for the wind turbine market.
These investments come in response to a new contract to supply over 10,000 tonnes to the wind turbine sector.
In 2014, Chomarat made similar improvements to its Taicangplant in China. The group is now able to supply its multiaxial reinforcements across continents - Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Raphael Pleynet, Head of Chomarat’s Composites Europe business, said that the increase in production capacity and facilities expansion will enable them to offer a competitive range designed for the wind turbine sector and all other high-volume markets such as the transportation and marine industries.
In relation to this development, Chomarat says that these latest investments will strengthen its market offering on an international scale. “Our recent investments in China and Tunisia reflect our determination to gain ground in both carbon and glass composites,” said Michel Cognet, Managing Director of Chomarat Group. The firm will be showcasing its innovations at the upcoming JEC Europe show in France on March 10-12.
