 Rapra
Technology is Europe’s leading independent plastics
and rubber research and technology organisation. Rapra provides
comprehensive consultancy, technology and information services
for the polymer industry and for industries which use plastics
or rubber in any component, product or production process.
Based
on two sites in the UK, Rapra’s 120 employees support
over 5,000 clients every year in over 60 different countries.
The Technical Department carries out over 2,000 separate confidential
client projects annually, involving materials, processing
and design-related issues. Rapra’s experts are backed
up by extensive testing and analytical laboratory facilities,
as well as a factory area for trial processing projects. The
Information Department produces the World’s largest
bibliographic database specialising in polymers, as well as
producing a wide range of technical and scientific publications,
and organising an ongoing programme of conferences and training
courses.
Rapra
is increasingly taking a leading role in developing and managing
a series of innovative industry-based R& D programmes.
Much of this is driven by Rapra’s role as joint lead
partner of the Faraday Plastics Partnership, managing and
exploiting active links between the UK’s plastics industry
and its academic science and technology base.
