Aristech Announces $11 Million in U.S. Plant Investments
Florence, Kentucky (PRWEB) October 18, 2016 -- Aristech Surfaces®, a global surface materials company, announced today that it is investing over $11 Million in U.S. plant improvements over the next three years as an ongoing, comprehensive commitment to continually improve the quality of its products.
Work will be completed this month on a $4.5 Million project to replace a stainless steel belt on one of Aristech’s continuous cast machines in its Florence, Kentucky plant, where it holds four of the world’s largest acrylic casting machines. These machines – measuring over 100 yards long and exceeding nine feet in width – are key to ensuring sheet size flexibility and supply reliability for Aristech’s customers. Recently, the company also invested $2 Million on the installation of new sanding equipment for its solid surface sheets as well as a new production line to manufacture shower bases in Belen, New Mexico.

Aristech is committed to driving both product innovation and continuous advancement of product quality.”
The Florence, Kentucky plant produces cast acrylic sheet for the hot tub, bath, and sign markets, as well as acrylic solid surface for commercial industries including retail, healthcare, education, hospitality, and recreational vehicles.
