(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
TenCate Advanced Composites North America expands the cooperation with 3M, which
started in 2010. This cooperation has considerably strengthened the position of
the partners, particularly in composite materials for the aerospace market.
Addressing such partnerships fits into the strategy of TenCate to speed up the
market development and growth of the company by means of cooperation and
business to business network structures.
The expansion of the cooperation will allow TenCate Advanced Composites and 3M
to speed the development and adoption of new applications for composite
materials. TenCate as a supplier of materials will focus on the production of
composite materials for tooling applications that are used in various production
processes, such as the aerospace and automotive industries.
The cooperation results in the creation of new composite materials with improved
performance in the area of durability and material properties.

market offers significant opportunities for TenCate. It is an important market
for the composites industry. The increasing use of composites in aircraft,
automobiles, and high performance industrial applications will also increase the
demand for composite tooling materials. TenCate and 3M are powerful partners,
who have already demonstrated to be able to develop and market high quality
advanced composites products'.
