SWM International (NYSE: SWM) is expanding its thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film manufacturing capabilities to meet growing global demand with the installation of a TPU film line at its manufacturing site in Suzhou, China. The new line includes state-of-the-art manufacturing and quality control equipment and will support the growth of SWM’s Argotec™ protective film business in China and across the Asia Pacific region.

“Our customers are excited to gain local access to SWM’s expertise in TPU film manufacturing. We will increase our already high standard of service to our films customers by producing and shipping TPU locally and in region,” said Kelly Huang, SWM Commercial Director – Asia Pacific. “We are committed to the Asia Pacific region and helping our customers continue to grow in the paint protection automotive aftermarket and the graphics market using our Argotec™ film products.”

“As a leading global TPU film producer, we are committed to producing differentiated, high performance and functional films that excel in difficult applications. We look forward to continued collaboration with our Asia Pacific customers on our ArgotecTM films, a brand well-known globally for quality and performance,” said Carl Sittard, SWM Vice President and General Manager – Films.
