(Trexel, Inc., Wilmington, MA July 25, 2022)… MuCell Extrusion, LLC has granted
Trexel rights to offer MuCell technology to the Extrusion Blow Molding market, effective immediately.
Trexel has long offered solutions to applications in Automotive Blow Molding, but until now has been restricted from participating in the extrusion blow molding market beyond automotive per a non-competition agreement that was part of Trexel’s 2008 sale of its extrusion business to Zotefoams plc., the parent company of MuCell Extrusion, LLC.
“As Trexel has sharpened its focus on injection molding packaging applications in recent years, we have seen a pull from the market to offer our MuCell solutions to blow molded products, leading us to pursue this agreement with MuCell Extrusion,” explains Trexel CEO, Brian Bechard.
“We are delighted to come to this agreement for Trexel Inc to offer a wider range of solutions to extrusion blow molding as MuCell Extrusion refocuses on applications for extruded sheet and film,” commented David Stirling, Group CEO of Zotefoams plc.
