2018

DuFor is constantly investing in its R&D lab facility’s to create innovative and sustainable polyester products and solutions together with its customers. In 2017 DuFor already invested in a new viscosity and color meter and a quality control database. Now a compounding and extrusion pilot plant is added to the R&D facility. With this new extrusion pilot plant, we can develop more high-value polyester specialties from recycled, post-consumer PET bottles. From the lab to the field, from a pilot project to large scale production. The new pilot line also opens the way to explore possibilities for recycled PET from other sources than post-consumer bottles.

Since March 2016 DuFor received the internationally recognized quality management standard ISO 9001: 2015 certified . This means that all our business processes have been externally audited and measured against best practice. Two of the fundamental principles of the ISO certification are a focus on customers – understanding their requirements and exceeding their expectations – and continual review and improvement of everything a business does.
