Capabilities at Suwanee

PolyOne Corporation officials announce the opening of an expanded customer-focused Innovation Center in Suwanee, GA

Highlights of the Center include:

• A comprehensive design idea library showcasing the impact of color and special effects on different shapes and materials
• State-of-the-art training facility
• New equipment to expand capabilities in cast film, blown film, and thermoforming and build on the extensive multi-layer olefin, PET blow molding, and injection molding expertise
• Additional twin screw extrusion capacity to provide quicker solution turnarounds and advanced equipment to address increased demands for specialty performance additives

These investments further strengthen PolyOne’s ability to work with customers to enhance their products and help them substantially reduce their product development time.
