Read moreAGRU Austria has acquired the fluoropolymer production from the Swiss company Quadrant EPP AG. With the addition of these new materials, previous marketed as Symalit, AGRU will further strengthen its’ global leading position in the fluoropolymer products business. AGRU is now able to offer new knitted textile systems for the production of fabric backed sheets and pipes. To adjust the brand name for the synthetic fabric backing to the market situation, AGRU has decided to change the brand name from GK to SK+. While material on stock will still carry the name GK for some time, all produced extruded after 01.09.2016 will be labelled with SK+.
What means SK+?
