Operations have begun at the first of its kind demonstration, development, validation and pilot production facility for reaction injection molding (RIM) coating technology in North America: the RIM Coating Technology Center (RCTC) in Livonia, Michigan.

This open platform center plays a critical role in accelerating the adoption and commercialization of innovative coating technologies by enabling parts manufacturers to deliver cost-effective, direct-from-mold Class “A” plastic and composite parts that meet stringent automotive OEM validation requirements.

The RCTC serves as a North American on-ramp for capable supply-base development, from concept through pilot production. The RCTC is a Ruhl Strategic Partners initiative.
