The Material Works, Ltd. (TMW) is the developer of the EPS process and operates an EPS Sheet Line. Located in Red Bud, IL, TMW is a leading toll processor offering slitting, cut-to-length, multi-blanking, stretcher leveling and EPS processing. TMW began researching the EPS process in 2007 and built a full-scale coil-to-coil production system for process refinement and assessment of process economics. This "Alpha" line commercially processed thousands of tons until TMW sold it in 2010 to concentrate on engineering a higher capacity EPS cell. Visit the TMW Web Site. |
