Southwall Technologies Inc. announced on 1 September that is has acquired Wisconsin-based processor of high-performance, heat-reflective interlayers Crown Operations International. Alignment with Southwall creates a great opportunity to bring new, energy-saving interlayer products to the market, said Curtis Liposcak, president of Crown Operations. The acquisition strengthens Southwall“s focus on vertical integration to offer value-added products and services since Crown“s laminating and converting capabilities simplify material logistics and facilitate the adoption of high performance interlayers for volume production. Crown“s proven technology enables Southwall to provide a complete interlayer solution from encapsulation through converting, said Dennis Capovilla, Southwall“s chief executive officer. Our goal is to make it easy for manufacturers to integrate the performance of Southwall“s XIR heat-reflective film into their architectural and automotive laminated glass products.
