Bostik has announced that it is to dramatically enhance the existing insulating glass (IG) sealant production facility at its Leicester site in an investment plan totalling approximately £3 million.

Representative of Bostik’s ongoing commitment to providing high quality sealants for the Insulating Glass Unit (IGU) industry, the investment will see the introduction of a brand new, state-of-the-art, computerised plant, dedicated to the production of hot melt butyl perimeter sealants.

The new equipment has been specifically developed for Bostik’s IG hot melt sealant production and will facilitate, among other things, a dramatic increase in capacity and will enable the whole process to be fully automated.

Richard Sellman, Marketing Manager at Bostik, comments: ‘Manufacturers rely on our products because they know we are committed to delivering the highest quality. The new IG hot melt sealant plant is a tangible demonstration of this.’

Further announcements will follow in the New Year.
