parts and high-performance thermoplastic or thermoset polymers. - Dedienne Coating (formerly TSN), based at Evreux (Eure), is the Group’s surface treatment and metallization centre for metals, plastics and composites. - Dedienne Roumanie, formed in 2005 in Transylvania, continues to be developed as the Group's production base for Eastern Europe and works extensively for the automotive sector. - Dedienne Automotive, formerly MECATENO and based at Gétigné (LoireAtlantique), specializes in the injection moulding and decoration of subassemblies for automotive and massproduced applications. leveraging technical flax applications. This association was born from the desire of various manufacturers, and in particular Dedienne Multiplasturgy®, to create and structure a “technical flax” production channel dedicated to the development of eco-design products and composites featuring high-performance flax fibres. The lightness and performance of flaxbased composites make them suitable for a wide range of applications, such as transportation, sports equipment and the construction industry. Flax has the potential to become the third major fibre after glass and carbon. The association has endowed itself with the resources to match its ambitions. It encompasses, through its members, the resources for plant cultivation, for fibre processing, and for the production of rovings, technical textiles and fibre-reinforced polymer compounds. In terms of processing facilities, it can use injection, extrusion, infusion, forming and RTM tools: all processes that are the stock-intrade of Dedienne Multiplasturgy®. The second project concerns innovative processing technologies. After being the first French company to sign, in 2007, Cage System installed on Dedienne pilot equipment Lofty ambitions for composites For over 60 years (the Group was founded in January 1947), Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group has been a leader in the processing of engineering plastics, high-performance polymers and composites. The latter sector is today one of the Group's priority lines of development. To this end, it has launched two major projects. The first is the creation of the FiMaLin® (“Flax Material Fibres”) Association to promote a manufacturing channel for a license to develop the Cage System® process for mould heating via induction as developed by RocTool, Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group decided, in early 2009, to exercise its option to convert this into a 7-year production license, in two parts: - The first license concerns closedmould stamping and RTM processes. The immediate objectives are to pursue developments with regard to forming new generations of composites based on thermoplastic resins on the pilot plant of the Dedienne Composites subsidiary, and to be able to commit to medium- and large-volume industrial projects. - A second license concerns plastics injection. This will initially enable the development of new applications using the Group’s pilot plant currently being rolled out, and leading on to a largevolume production phase. The markets concerned are aerospace, automotive, transport and sports & leisure. This new technology consolidates and expands the Group’s Multiplasturgy® concept, and underpins its position as an innovative and groundbreaking company on the European plastics processing market for technical and decorative parts. More information: www.dedienne.com contact@dedienne.com Focus About FIMALIN Created in March 2009, the Cluster comprises the companies DEHONDT, ARKEMA, CLEXTRAL, DEDIENNE MULTIPLASTURGY® Group and TERRE DE LIN, as well as the INSTITUT TECHNIQUE DU LIN (Technical Flax Institute). The association has set itself the following objectives and missions: - to be a pole of reference for the development of technical flax; - to promote the establishment of a development platform bringing together all those concerned: major manufacturers and innovative SMEs, both producers and users; research centres and technical institutes; educational establishments; - to identify market needs and consolidate R&D projects and initiatives around a value chain covering every stage of the production channel from the applications right down to the sowing of seeds; - to provide creative input vis-à-vis the public authorities in terms of development strategy, action programmes and changes to the regulations or standards; - to encourage the manufacture of eco-design products, mainly using plant-based materials, without negatively impacting the food industry and while respecting the imperatives of sustainable development; - to promote this group structure and build on the sector's appeal.
