State-of-the-art testing capability. Dedicated production
equipment. Continuous improvement teams. Long-term partnerships.
It's a combination that makes Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, Inc.'s Fowlerville Center a world-class facility.
Our new $40-million, 200,000-square-foot-center is the most technologically advanced engineering resins manufacturing and applications development facility in the world. And at our facility, as with our entire company, quality and consistency is our number-one priority.
Here's how we do it:
Dedicated feed streams are used for all raw materials.
Manufacturing consistency – our products are produced with the same proprietary, continuous processes all the time.
State-of-the-art equipment – all of our extruders are twin screw mega compounders.
Our highly qualified people work in continuous improvement teams.
Our analytical and testing equipment is found only in
global Fortune 500 companies.
We also focus on efficiencies, environmental responsibility, and productivity to keep costs down for our customers. We have the largest glass fiber extruder in the world for producing glass reinforced, chemically coupled polypropylene, and we bring in our raw materials in bulk, saving on transportation and labor costs while reducing packaging costs. All this while painstakingly minimizing any manufacturing variation.
