By IBI Magazine

Polynova Composites in the US and Britain's Scott & Fyfe have entered into a global licensing agreement to further the development of their current and future product lines.

"Technologically advanced textiles are the hallmark of both companies," says Michael Schwartz, Polynova's CEO. "The Polybeam technology at the heart of this agreement streamlines closed mould processing and enhances product performance. Furthermore, manufacturers that adopt this technology will be demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship in addition to product excellence. Polynova is very pleased with this opportunity to advance the art of composites manufacturing in cooperation with Scott & Fyfe."

Robert Martin, managing director of Scott & Fyfe, says: "This agreement and our good relationship with Polynova Composites enables Scott & Fyfe to improve manufacturing solutions to our customers. We believe that the license arrangement with Polynova Composites demonstrates our continued leadership in textiles for closed mould processing and products such as Polymat "Hi-Flow" can be accessed by manufacturers of composite parts to improve cost effectiveness while reducing environmental impact."
