Building membranes manufacturer,
Industrial Textiles and Plastics (ITP) Ltd, is supporting its
policy of continual product innovation with investment in a
new Product Development and Testing facility at its
headquarters in Easingwold, North Yorkshire.
The company
is redeveloping an old warehouse unit to house a new
laboratory for the ongoing development of its diverse product
range which includes protective building membranes for roof
and wall applications, ground gas barriers, and textiles for
temporary site protection. The facility is expected to be
fully operational this autumn. |

ITP Managing
Director, Carl Morse, said:
“Pioneering advances
in engineered protective textiles is part ITP’s DNA. Across
four decades in manufacturing, the company has driven
innovations in our markets. We have been especially prominent
in leading and advocating the development of flame-retardant
and chemical-resistant technologies, and fire protection will
be a key focus of our R&D in the coming years. The new
facility will be a crucial part of our ability to refine
product performance and optimise the balance of every metric,
from combustibility to water tightness and UV resistance.”
|
ITP Sales Director,
Matt Thompson, said:
“Enhancing and expanding our
ability to carry out initial testing and prototyping in-house
will be vital in enabling ITP to develop new products - we
will be able to carry out exhaustive R&D before submitting
each new product to independent testing bodies to certify
their credentials before they are released to the market. ITP
has never been one of those manufacturers that merely tries to
replicate inferior versions of competitor products – we
believe in developing new solutions and setting new
standards.” |
| At its facilities in
Easingwold include logistics, storage and a wide range of
manufacturing processes, where it has a UK and international
sales team and supplying products on a global basis. |
