RTP Company has opened a sheet extrusion division in Winona, Minnesota, USA.

Production sheet extrusion equipment has been installed at the facility that is capable of producing sheet and roll stock from 0.25 to 10mm thick in widths up to 160cm.

The facility offers full-service extrusion-specific processing capabilities and quality assurance testing including melt flow index, melt strength and filler dispersion.

Heading the division is Bill Minogue, Division General Manager.

"He brings impressive experience, including 12 years in the sheet and extrusion industry and 22 years of management experience", said Hugh Miller, CEO of RTP Company.

The opening of the division is a result of the continuing effort by the company to support the development and manufacture of specialty compounds used in extrusion applications.

The division is a future growth area for the company and augments the custom resin portion of its business.

"Because of the technical expertise and library of formulations RTP Company has developed over the past 20 plus years for the injection moulding market, we are uniquely qualified to become a leading supplier to the custom sheet and roll extrusion market", said Minogue.

RTP Company is privately owned and has experienced rapid growth through product innovation and unbiased technical expertise which allows the company to maintain complete objectivity in selecting and recommending materials.

"One of the main reasons for RTP Company's success, and what we intend to emulate in the sheet extrusion market, is our polymer technology independence", said Minogue.

"This allows us to be objective and forthright in our approach to customer desires and development efforts.".
