Technical Fibre Products (TFP, Schenectady, NY, US) has announced a planned capacity increase of 50% by 2020. The investment is in response to increasing demand for TFP’s advanced nonwovens across all markets.
“The planned expansion will continue to facilitate the rapid growth TFP has seen in key markets such as aerospace, defense and fuel cells and will be supported by significant capital investment to develop and house the new capacity,” says Martin Thompson, managing director of TFP.
