Solvay has inaugurated its state-of-the-art manufacturing centre for aerospace structural adhesives and surfacing films in Wrexham, United Kingdom.

Together with the existing plant in Havre De Grace, United States, this investment broadens Solvay's footprint and strengthens its position in this growing and demanding global market.

The centre is purpose-built and automated, supported by robotic and digital systems. This step-change in the manufacturing process optimises the production and supply chain security of aerospace structural adhesives, surfacing films and lightning strike protection for composite structures.

Carmelo Lo Faro, head of Solvay's Composite Materials Global Business Unit, commented: "Solvay's new centre, equipped with cutting edge technologies, industrialises our manufacturing capabilities of structural adhesive and surfacing materials. It provides the quality and reliability our global aerospace customers need to meet the increasing rates of their aircraft programs and support their production system.”

The centre is fully commissioned and moving towards commercialisation later in 2018.
