In a move that will increase its fiber-based gasket production capacity by up to 7,000 lbs. per hour, Interface Solutions Inc. has added a new manufacturing line at its Fulton, N.Y. facility. The new line, which recently passed a rigorous internal certification process, is expected to shorten lead times for a variety of fiber gasket products. According to ISI Chief Executive Officer Frank Fox, the system’s productivity will steadily increase to its maximum capacity over the next several months. "ISI's capital investment was based on needs for rapid turnaround as expressed by the marketplace and increasing global demand that ISI is enjoying for fiber-based gaskets," says Fox. “Lead times will decrease as orders are strategically channeled to the new forming line. Both existing and future customers can turn to ISI with confidence that large volume fiber gasket orders will be met with quality production and increasingly rapid turnaround.”
The equipment installation comes at a time of global economic uncertainty but growing market share for ISI fiber gasket materials. The investment also reflects the Company’s long-term commitment to the fiber gasket business. In addition to reducing lead times, the line will help ISI achieve greater capacity balance, improve its contingency planning and increase production throughput.
