To support the continued demand for release liners in the Asia-Pacific region, Loparex will double manufacturing capacity at its Guangzhou, China facility by the first quarter of next year. The new capacity will enhance Loparex’s leading global supply capability to meet the demands of both local Asia-Pacific customers as well as Loparex’s many global customers. “Our customers expect high quality and performance from our products; this new capacity will enable Loparex to continue to offer the broadest portfolio of release liner products to serve demanding, growth markets, such as electronics, medical, and industrial segments,” said Andie Ho, managing director, Loparex Asia-Pacific.

Tapani Laakso, Loparex Asia-Pacific sales and marketing director added, “Our customers continue to become more and more global, with multi-national product development and supply chain strategies.”

Loparex expanded in Silvassa, India in 2009.
