Amada becomes forum’s platinum sponsor

Teknor Apex acquires business of Nu-Pro Polymers Teknor Apex, a material science company with multiple speciality plastics divisions, has announced that it acquired the business of Nu-Pro Polymers, Inc late last year. Nu-Pro works with clean post-industrial recycled (PIR) streams and converts them into new PVC compounds that perform equivalently to prime compounds. The company specialises in clear, natural and black reprocessed compounds in a range of durometers. Under the acquisition, Nu-Pro will continue to produce products for Teknor Apex, under the Cycle-Tek brand as a subsidiary of Teknor Apex. “We are very excited about this acquisition that will further enable us to develop innovative compounds that meet the performance and sustainability requirements of our custom ers,” said Lou Cappucci, executive vice president, Teknor Apex. Don Brown, co-owner, Nu-Pro Polymers, commented, “Our flexible, reprocessed and recycled PVC compounds incorporate up to 90 per cent post-industrial recycled content. Our goal is to convert PVC waste streams into products that perform for our customers.” Teknor Apex www.teknorapex.com

The Battery Experts Forum is a networking platform for all battery technology topics. The core of the international event is a scientific conference, embedded in an exhibition that showcases the latest news for all parts of the battery production value chain. Welding is a key process in battery production and can be a bottleneck in the overall manufacturing process. Amada Weld Tech, a welding equipment manufacturer, has announced its platinum sponsorship of the next Battery Experts Forum, which will take place from 7 to 9 November 2023 in Darmstadt, Germany. Dave Fawcett, CEO of Amada Weld Tech’s European and American operations, commented, “We look forward to being back at Battery Experts Forum, which brings together the entire battery supply chain, and we highly appreciate it as a networking platform of outstanding quality.” As the event’s platinum sponsor, Amada will present its technology with a large booth directly in the centre of the forum. The company will also give a scientific lecture.
