The company manufactures siliconized poly-coated kraft (PCK) liners. Based on the integration into paper making, extrusion coating and siliconizing, Felix Schoeller release liners are used in the self-adhesive graphics, tape, and industrial markets.  
 
The planned investment in North America is not only a geographic expansion but will also add new capabilities. The new operation is designed to coat both solventless and solvent-based silicone systems and is expected to be operational by 2023.  
 
‘Building the new North American operation is a very logical step in our global release liner strategy,’ Michael Szidat, CEO of Felix Schoeller North America, said. ‘A manufacturing presence in our key North American market will elevate us from an important supplier to a true partner for our customers. And expanding our technology to include solvent coatings will allow our customers and us to bring the Felix Schoeller performance promise to a whole new set of markets and applications.’
