FilmTec Corporation Announces the Successful Start-Up of its Manufacturing Facility
FilmTec Corporation, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, announced the successful start-up of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Edina, Minnesota. This expansion provides increased capacity and improved product performance of FILMTEC(tm) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to meet growing demand.
The expansion has progressed on track since construction began in 2004, with partial production underway since early 2006. Minnesota was chosen for the expansion after a rigorous process that looked at various locations around the world.
According to the company, the expanded facility operates with leading-edge process and manufacturing technology and provides more than double the production capacity of FilmTec's existing plant. It contains additional membrane lines and new fabrication cells, adding a higher degree of automation to FilmTec's already automated production capabilities.
