£1-million investment in R-RIM
TEP has invested over £1m in a new state-of-the-art metering machine and mould carriers to extend its business into R-RIM. The new 'Comet' machine from Krauss-Maffei UK produces products weighing up to seven kilos and has special adaptations to enable processing of the Bayflex 180-110 chemical system from chemical company Bayer.
The Comet is ideal for the production of thin-walled exterior components such as bumpers side panels and skirts.
