Impreglon continues strong growth with new record sales and profits in the 1st quarter of 2014.
The high speed of acquisitions in recent years begins to bear fruit.
Most of the companies acquired in 2010 - 2012 are now successfully integrated in the Impreglon group and contribute to the 1st quarter result with strongly improved profit margins. Most remarkable is the increase of earings before taxes by over 400% in comparison to the 1st quarter 2013. This may also be attributed to better sales and plant utilization for the whole group, while there are still sufficient reserves for future growth.
Assuming a stable world economy for the full year, management is optimistic to reach the projected goals of 140m Euro in sales in 2014.
With 34 plants in 15 countries on 4 continents Impreglon is a worldwide leader in surface technology.
Established in 1986, Impreglon UK is a part of the Impreglon Group with sister companies around the world. Impreglon UK is located in the heart of Britain with easy access to the motorway network. We are ideally positioned to provide a quality service to all of our clients.

SafeCoat 600 used at Centre Parcs.
Centre Parcs new village at Woburn Forest opens in early summer 2014. Set in up to 400 acres of beautiful natural woodland surroundings, it offers an unparalleled setting for short breaks in the forest. Nature is the backdrop to everything at Centre Parcs.
The jewel in the crown of the sports and leisure activities is the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, a landscaped multi-purpose pool.
And an important component for customer safety and security is the pair of roller shutter doors manufactured and installed by Insulated Roller Shutter Products (IRSP) of Brierley Hill in the West Midlands. Founded in 1982, IRSP has grown to be one of the premier manufacturers of quality roller shutter products, exporting products from the company’s UK design and manufacturing facility to over 25 countries worldwide. IRSP's policy of constant research and development allows it to offer unlimited design options and unrivalled product performance. All IRSP products have undergone rigorous testing procedures to ensure that they not only pass, but exceed current international standards.
The two shutter doors are used to close off access to the pool at night time. The clever part of the IRSP design is that the doors are partially submerged in the pool. The involvement of Impreglon UK was to coat the various metallic components of the shutter doors in SafeCoat 601. Part of the SafeCoat 600 series anti-microbial coating range, SafeCoat 601 is white in colour.
SafeCoat 601 was used on the shutter doors to prevent microbial build up so as to ensure not only the environmental safety of Centre Parcs clients, but also to maintain the gloss white finish of the doors for many years to come.

Second Plant in China and updates for the USA and Australia.
After the first successful joint venture in Shanghai focusing on the automotive industry, the contract has now been signed for a second joint venture company in the Shanghai area. The new consolidation of the Shanghai based technology specialist KeyonTechs with Impreglon SE (51%) will concentrate on polymer and fluoropolymer coatings for general machinery manufacturers as well as production facilities in all different industries. Production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2014.
To better serve customers in the oil and gas industry and accommodate the higher volume, Impreglon Surface Technologies in Houston, Texas has merged the divisions 'thermal spraying' and 'polymer coatings' in a new, larger facility at the existing location.
Despite the weak economy in Australia right now, Impreglon has to set the course for the future: The existing location is too small for new processes and the lease expires at the end of 2014. The new plant will be purchased by Impreglon Australia. It has ample space for expansion and is only five minutes away from the old location.

Optical Coatings at the Winter Olympics.
Optical Coating Technologies, a part of Impreglon UK, is proud to have helped Team GB at the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi, Russia.
A key area of business for Optical Coating Technologies is in the coating of eye safety ware: goggles, glasses and visors. The coatings are used to give anti-fog, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. So to help the British bobsleigh team we coated the outside face with one of our abrasion resistant coatings and the inside face with an anti-fog coating. Two different coating technologies were used which is something Optical Coating Technologies is particularly skilled at.

New Czech plant complements sites in Poland and Hungary.
Effective January 1, 2014 Impreglon has fully acquired the Czech coater Povrchové úpravy (PUT) in Třemošnice. PUT ideally complements the Impreglon plants in Walcz (Poland) and Tatabanya (Hungary) as well as the existing range of coating processes in Eastern Europe. As is already practiced in Western Europe and the United States, the Impreglon plants in Eastern Europe will offer customers a 'One Stop Shop' for their coating needs.
With its central location PUT has the option to grow on existing premises and add new coating processes in the future. The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

Impreglon strengthens presence in the UK.
Second plant with focus on optical coatings.
Effective January 1, 2014 Impreglon has further reinforced its worldwide coating network by acquiring Optical Coating Technologies (OCT) in Tamworth. After the acquisition of TOP Oberflächen of Würzburg last year, which not only coats plastic components under clean room conditions but also has developed its own line of high performance top coats, Impreglon was looking to expand these coating opportunities within the group. OCT opens up two new fields: new applications for optically clear abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and ant-fog coatings on safety glasses, lenses, visors etc.; and the opportunity use Impreglon's own scratchproof coatings in the new plant in Tamworth.
OTC also applies metal coatings such as gold, silver, copper and aluminium on to plastics, metals and glass using vacuum deposition, which provides good synergy with the Woonsocket, USA, plant.
The third strand to the OTC business is the stockholding of ready coated polycarbonate sheet. As the UK and Ireland distributor for KRD of Germany, OTC can provide off the shelf sheets and profiles for the signage and digital display markets.
The parties agreed not to disclose the purchasing price.
With 33 plants in 14 countries on 4 continents Impreglon is one of the global leaders in surface technology.

Polymer concrete no match for Impreglon.
The mixing of resin based concretes often poses a problem to both the client and Impreglon. For the client the resin, once it’s activator has been added, will stick to the mixing equipment, necessitating regular cleaning. Add in the bulk material, such as Calcium Carbonate, and you have a sticky abrasive compound. And it’s the abrasive nature that shortens the life of a non-stick coating.
One of Impreglon UK’s clients uses a Polyester resin bound Calcium Carbonate as a polymer concrete mix for creating platforms. The concrete is fed into the platform mould from the mixing unit by means of an Archimedean screw. So not only was an abrasive material being handled, but it was being moved through a very confined space – Archimedean screws work when inside a tube only slightly larger in bore than the outside diameter of the screw flights. The problem was that the cured resin necessitated the removal of the screw every eight hours for it to be cleaned. Not only was this a time consuming exercise, but a man was employed in the fitting shop primarily to clean up the screw.
The Impreglon answer had to have good non-stick or easy clean properties for Polyester resin and be capable of withstanding the abrasive nature of Calcium Carbonate. The answer was MC3005. This is not usually the first choice for non-stick applications but it is both a high build coating and quite tough. Thus one might expect it to have a good lifespan in such an abrasive environment.
In fact MC3005 lasted for about three months before wearing away. In that time the screw only had to be removed for cleaning a handful of times. MC3005 proved to be self cleaning for most of the time. When it did have to be removed, the cured resin came off very easily. Thus Impreglon managed to save our client both production downtime and cleaning time.
