Johns Manville restarts fiberglass furnace in Slovakia and exhibits at JEC World 2023
On April, 25, 2023, Johns Manville will restart a glass melter, after it was taken out of service for a routine rebuild. The furnace had previously reached the end of its service life after a record campaign of 10 years.
“This is an outstanding achievement from a technology perspective,” said John Vasuta, president of Johns Manville Engineered Products. “The teams from Trnava and our Johns Manville Technical Center in the U.S. worked together extremely well and did a fantastic job to achieve such a long life for the furnace. The rebuild also went remarkably smoothly.”
This furnace rebuild also affirms Johns Manville’s commitment to continue serving the industry in Europe with regional production.
Also this month, Johns Manville will exhibit at JEC World in Paris, France. The international trade show is April 25-27, 2023. JM’s Fiberglass and Advanced Composites businesses will share a booth (Hall 6, Booth D84) with a sportsbar theme.
“It’s exciting to exhibit in Paris when at the same time one of our furnaces is launching a new campaign,” Vasuta said. “We look forward to sharing all of the good things happening at JM with our current and future customers.”
At JEC World, Johns Manville will showcase its full potential of StarRov® single-end rovings, MultiStar® multi-end rovings and ThermoFlow® and StarStran® chopped strands – all of which expand the capabilities of thermoplastic and thermoset composites. In addition, Johns Manville will showcase its innovative Neomera® PA-6 organosheet products, which feature exceptionally good mechanical properties thanks to their patented reactive sizing technology.
