Chomarat Invests in Its Coatings&Films Business: New Extruder, New Graining Line

Chomarat, is developing its Coatings&Films business at its French sites. The Group has just acquired an extruder and a graining line to increase its production capacities and develop new, more efficient solutions, particularly in the field of TPO (polyolefin thermoplastics). These two technological investments are part of the €35 million investment plan announced by the Group in mid-2017.

An Expanded Offer with The New Graining Line

The graining line gives texture to the coated textile and provides a differentiation of appearance or a functionalization, such as non-slip or durability. “ We will use this new technology to broaden the scope of material we process (including the production of TPO sheets with or without backing), and to improve the perceived quality by a better grain definition,” explains Philippe Chomarat, Director of the Coatings&Films business at Chomarat. This technological investment enables the goup to increase its production capacities and offer new solutions for the automotive and luxury bag markets.
