Scapa: New cable compound plant
UK-based Scapa Polymerics has officially opened its new production facility in Greater Manchester. The manufacturer of cable industry compounds and tapes will make Megolon halogen-free, fire retardant, low smoke and fume compounds (LSFOH), the Megotape cable wrapping range and its self-amalgamating tapes at the site. It will also house a research and development facility for cable and wire innovations.
The company said Megolon compound manufacture at the new plant, as well at existing Manchester premises, would facilitate a significant increase in production. Scapa said the new plant was a result of its decision to invest EURO 32m over six years.
