The modernization project includes upgrading a blow extrusion line (Photo 1) with an additional, product-specific modified die head. This enhancement allows for more flexible production and ensures a faster response to customer requests. By adapting to the growing market demandes for variable batch sizes and short set-up times, Pontacol is positioning itself to be customer-focused and forward-thinking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4575&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Photo 1: new product specific modified die head[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]In a subsequent phase, another extrusion line was equipped with a unit for slitting adhesive films. These slotted adhesive films (Photo 2) are a specialty of Pontacol and enable efficient, high-performance adhesion, particularly when bonding lightweight honeycomb panels. They also provide a sound-insulating effect in fiberglass textile components, such as car headliners.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4579&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Photo 2: slit Pontacol adhesive film[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]By expanding and increasing the flexibility of its production facilities, Pontacol is preparing for the future. These measures not only meet market demands but also contribute to greater efficiency in the production process. The conversion took place within the production halls without causing any disturbances to the neighborhood or disruptions to ongoing operations. Delivery capabilities were maintained throughout the conversion process, allowing the new investment to become operational in the past few days.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/pontacol.com\/en\/contacts\/\">Find out more about it&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;recent_title&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">More News &amp; Insights<\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;News &amp; Insights&#8221; style=&#8221;outline&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fpontacol.com%2Fen%2Fnews-insights%2F|title:News%20%26%20Insights|&#8221; el_class=&#8221;animation_element&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
