NEWS Nanogate working on $100m order
Germany’s Nanogate has begun serial production and delivery for the largest order in its history. The Göttel- born-based company’s order base for the years 2019-21 now stands at over €600m, according to CEO Ralf Zastrau.
Nanogate makes multi- functional components and surfaces and made a breakthrough into metallised plastics as replacements for stainless steel last year. It uses an in-house technology based on moulding process- es and multifunctional
enhancement to metallise a heat-resistant plastic with a stainless-steel appearance for applications in kitchen appliances. In addition, Nanogate has won a further order from the same customer with a cumu- lative volume of $50m from
2020 to 2027. This is based on another company technology platform called N-Glaze, which creates enhanced plastic surfaces of high optical quality in various colours, also for use in kitchen appliances. �

Evco Plastics breaks ground at US plant
Custom plastics manufacturer Evco Plastics has broken ground on a 2,880 m2
expansion to its facility at Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, US. This will be dedicated to large part moulding across many industries and applications, notably what plant manager Mike Grobe called “highly cosmetic body panels in engineering-grade resins”.
The expansion will include 2,500 and 3,500-tonne machines, plus associated dryers, portable chillers and other auxiliary equipment. Space will also be available for two more large- tonnage machines. The remaining space will be used to
add warehouse storage for moulds and finished parts. As a result, Evco will

operational by January, bringing the total area to 10,800 m2
the site has increased by 20% as a direct result. �
