UK materials testing machine maker Hounsfield has signed an agreement with Italian test equipment manufacturer Ceast. A new division of Ceast, Technologie ST Processia Sas (T&P), will specialize in providing the Italian market with tension and compression testing machines from Hounsfield and specimen preparation equipment from Axxicon in the USA. TP has Composites launched its website (www. tpcomposites.com) detailing its capabilities in modifying thermoplastic resins.
“25 years of Excellence” Pultrex celebrates 25 years in the Composites industry - 1974-l 999
The Pultrexrange of pultrusion machines, now in 8 sizes, have been in continuous production of quality profiles for over 20 years. All feature standard digital control with advanced production and quality assurance capabilities. In service world wide, their design features have been adopted as industry standards.
