Techlan is delighted to announce the acquisition of a new state-of-the-art machine, supported by funding from Carmarthenshire County Council. This investment represents a major advancement in our research and development capabilities and directly strengthens our ongoing commitment to innovating new waste-based sources for sustainable release liners.
R&D is at the heart of Techlan’s business, and this new equipment will significantly expand our ability to test, refine, and commercialise innovative waste-derived feedstocks for release liner production. By enhancing our technical capacity, we can diversify our supply chain, unlock new material streams, and accelerate the development of next-generation products that meet both performance and sustainability expectations.
Crucially, this technology allows us to investigate new methods of repurposing industrial waste materials into high-value release papers supporting our mission to advance the circular economy. As demand grows for environmentally responsible materials across packaging, manufacturing, automotive and other sectors, the ability to innovate rapidly and responsibly is essential for our competitiveness and long-term growth.
Investment in research and development is fundamental to driving this innovation. It enables Techlan to stay ahead of market needs, strengthen product performance, and continuously improve our processes to address environmental and commercial challenges. By prioritising R&D, we ensure that our solutions are not only cutting-edge but also aligned with our sustainability objectives.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in Techlan’s journey to deliver ever more eco-friendly release liner solutions. We are grateful for the support of Carmarthenshire County Council, whose commitment to regional innovation and sustainable industry has played a vital role in making this progress possible.
Techlan remains dedicated to advancing high-quality, sustainable release papers while driving innovation that benefits our customers, our industry, and the wider community.
