Clopay Plastics Opens World-Class R&D Technical Center

Mason, OH - Clopay Plastic Products supports product development with a new R&D Technical Center Facility. Located at their world headquarters in Mason, Ohio, this facility is dedicated to the pursuit of possibilities. Engineered from the ground up to provide the maximum flexibility in configuration, Clopay's R&D Technical Center will serve as a product development and testing center for Clopay customers world-wide.

"Here, customers can test new ideas and explore new possibilities on production-sized equipment that best mimics actual production conditions. Our R&D Technical Center can help customers significantly reduce development time so new or improved products can get to market faster," said Bill Norman, Director of Hygienic Products.

In addition to production-sized pilot lines and laminating equipment, the facility has a fully equipped laboratory for research and testing. "We've made a major commitment to new product development and research," continued Mr. Norman," because industry leadership is not given to those who follow but is earned by those who pursue possibilities."

Clopay Plastic Products is a Griffon Company. For more information on the new Clopay R&D Technical Center, call 1-800-282-2260 or visit their new web site at www.clopayplastics.com.
