𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐔𝐩 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐀™ 𝐏𝐏𝐒 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚

Toray Industries, Inc., announced today that #TorayIndustries(India) Private Limited has decided to build a new production facility for #TORELINA™ at its site in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.  


This high-performance #polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) resin offers excellent heat and chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and flame retardancy. Annual production capacity will be around 3,000 metric tons.  


Operations should start in early 2027 at what will be Toray’s first in-house PPS compound production line in India. Supplies of samples to customers will begin in April 2027, with full-fledged mass production starting as soon as possible.  


Toray will augment nylon and polybutylene terephthalate resin compounds that it already makes in India by establishing an integrated in-house PPS resin compound production system. It will expand its range of engineering plastics for #automotive electrical components and engine parts to optimize product design and process conditions to ensure quality, ensure consistent quality, and accelerate production ramp-ups and ongoing improvements. The company will thereby establish a highly reliable supply structure for mass production and provide attentive technical services while optimizing quality control for the local market. 


With real annual gross domestic product growth of around 7%, the Indian market offers considerable potential. Demand for automobiles, appliances, and other luxury and high-value-added goods is expanding with income levels. Under the Make in India initiative, which aims to transform the nation into an industrial powerhouse, domestic manufacturers are stepping up efforts to locally source and produce various components. The Production-Linked Incentive scheme is also prompting companies to swiftly increase local sourcing rates. 


Demand in India is thus robust for locally manufacturing and sourcing resin materials. Also, demand is surging for switching from imported materials to locally made alternatives. Toray will strengthen its support system in India by opening a new office in Pune, Maharashtra, in July 2026. The company will bolster its business foundations in the Indian market by expanding its production, sales, and technical support sites there. 


Toray has made strengthening frontlines capabilities and supply chain resilience central to TORAY Challenges 2035, its long-term management strategy. The new TORELINA™ production facility in India is part of that initiative. The facility is pivotal to the company’s resin business expansion in India and represents its commitment to reinforcing its position as the world’s top PPS resin manufacturer.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
