Carmelo Lo Faro, president of Solvay’s Composite Materials Global Business Unit Solvay says it is doubling its kitting capabilities for process materials in France to meet the increasing production rate of large composite parts such as aircraft wings or wind turbine blades. The kitting facility in Toulouse primarily serves customers across Europe. The additional equipment, capacity and floor space will increase the site’s manufacturing rate of large vacuum bagging kits and 60 new jobs will be created over the next few years. “Solvay is reinforcing its position as a key partner to the industry, serving customers out of Europe and the US Process materials are critical for our customers to successfully manufacture composite parts and we see that these high-value added products and services are an important component to driving the industrialisation trend,” said Carmelo Lo Faro, president of Solvay’s Composite Materials Global Business Unit (GBU). www.solvay.com Mike Richardson Author Mike Richardson Tags Solvay kitting prepregs vacuum bagging Wings Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter Related Articles Solvay and Vertical Aerospace partner on electric air-taxi programme Solvay and Leonardo launch joint research lab for thermoplastic composites Solvay and Boeing sign long-term enterprise agreement Most recent Articles Automated processing of aerospace scrap for precious elements Collins Aerospace goes Virtual for ‘Introduce a Girl to Engineering’ event Aerospace manufacturing projects to offer opportunity to industry Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter
