ansjakob Müller, a shareholder of the Renolit SE Supervisory Board, was proud to open a new calendar production line at Renolit Cramlington Ltd - a £5 million investment which confirms the Group’s commitment to manufacturing in the UK. The new calendar converts raw materials (resin, stabilisers, pigments etc) into a pvc sheet, the basic raw material used in the manufacture of Renolit's film products. The installation took nearly a year to complete, including laying new foundations to stabilise the 31 metre long machine. Once installed, the machine was fitted with the latest control equipment enabling Renolit to produce films to an accuracy of one hundredth of a millimetre. This new machine, says Renolit, will enable the company to continue its quest for supreme quality, widening the scope of products that can be produced in Cramlington.
As part of the project, Renolit Cramlington also completely refurbished a disused office block to create the Northumbria Building, a state-ofthe-art presentation area with conference and meeting facilities. A custom-built Design Centre has been incorporated at the heart of the building to house a permanent display of the company's products and provide an impressive environment for business meetings and new product design presentations. Customers and suppliers are welcome to visit the site to see the improved manufacturing facilities for themselves and the Renolit team would be delighted to lay on a product presentation in the Design Centre. To arrange a visit, either contact your usual Renolit Cramlington contact, or get in touch directly by phone on 01670 718222 or by email at renolit.cramlington@renolit.com
