RTP Acquires OMNOVA

Global custom engineered thermoplastic compounder RTP Company announced that its Sheet & Film Division subsidiary Wiman Corporation has purchased the Dupo, Illinois extrusion operation of OMNOVA Solutions.

As part of this expansion Wiman will retain all current personnel and equipment at the 40,000 sq. ft. facility. In addition, Wiman plans to maintain a supplier relationship with OMNOVA ensuring continued availability of products currently produced at the facility.

"The acquisition of this facility expands Wiman's capabilities, capacity and geographic presence allowing us to better meet the needs of our customers," said Peter Ploumidis, President of RTP Company's Sheet and Film Division. "In particular, the Dupo operation will expand Wiman's medical and industrial film product lines to be available down to one mil thick, which allows us to offer our wide variety of films in any gauge."
