The Cordoba Operations Center continues to advance

The Córdoba Operations Center, located on the outskirts of the provincial capital, continues to grow. The local team handles a constant flow of shipments of resins, gelcoats, fiberglass, and auxiliary materials, ensuring close and rapid service.

Construction is already underway on the Training Center, a space dedicated to technical training and professional development, designed to support clients and their employees. There, workshops and training sessions will be held focusing on the use of composite materials, production processes, and best application practices.

In the next phase, and always aligned with our goal of providing integrated solutions to our clients, we plan to add a Tool and Die Center, which will offer die repair services and adaptation to the VPI process.

With these initiatives, we aim to consolidate a value proposition that combines close customer relationships, technical support, and operational efficiency, helping our clients develop more robust and competitive processes.

REPAIRING A MOLD IS POSSIBLE

With use, molds wear down, affecting the quality of the parts. To solve this, Plaquimet combines Britec Tooling and Britec Repair.

  • Britec Tooling: A high-temperature resistant gelcoat, ideal for manufacturing molds with a better finish, lower costs, and greater durability. Its high heat resistance prevents cracking and reduces the need for constant repairs.
  • Britec Repair: Designed to repair gelcoat layers. Its low viscosity facilitates application, improves the surface, and saves sanding and preparation time. Simply mix it with the paint gelcoat, apply it to the damaged area, and then sand and polish as usual.

Our technical team can guide you step-by-step to ensure a flawless result.
