The company
has continued to
expand since 1995.In
June 1998 a second
metalliser was purchased
from Valmet General
which was installed
alongside the first
machine.This machine
enabled metallising
at widths up to
2050mm.The machine
was installed and
running by the end
of November 1998.
In May
1999 due to the
increase in Metallising
capacity,a second
slitter was ordered
from Valmet Atlas.This
machine was installed
and commisioned
in January 2000
enabling the metallisers
to run at full capacity
during 2000.
With the
arrival of the new
slitter,no more
space in the original
building was available
for future expansion.A
new building across
the road was constructed
to house any new
production equipment.This
was designed to
accommodate two
more metallisers
and a slitter.
In November
2000,a narrow web
speciality machine
was installed in
the new factory.This
machine has the
capability to run
thin films as low
as 2 micron.It also
has the capability
of stripe metallising
and print/pattern
metallising.A special
process monitor
also allows the
coating of very
thin layers for
special applications.
In May
2000 a 2450mm metalliser
with plasma treatment
was ordered from
Valmet General.This
machine was installed
and commissioned
in March 2001 taking
our total number
of Metallising machines
to four.
As an
accumulation of
5 years investment
and effort,Ultimet
Films has emerged
as one of the biggest
independent Metallising
companies in Europe.It
is still our aim
to provide an efficient
and flexible turnaround
for our growing
number of customers.The
success of the company
is partly due to
the understanding
of the process and
business by the
three founder Directors,who
initially for a
number of years
ran all the equipment
themselves.
