Insulation industry news from Global Insulation

Italy: Gamma Meccanica has acquired mineral wool pipe section production technology from Germany’s MPN Maschinenbau. As part of the purchase, Mark Desomer has joined the Italian mineral wool production line manufacturer. No value for the transaction has been disclosed.

“We are delighted to cooperate as one team in the future. It is an exciting new chapter to continue our journey to develop state of the art mineral wool pipe section production units based on our mutual know-how,” said Andrea Magnani Managing Director at Gamma Meccanica .

Germany: MPN Maschinenbau GmbH, specialised in pipe section production units for mineral wool, has announced that it has achieved a major breakthrough. Its MPN pipe sections units can now produce concentricly-wound square or rectangular pipe sections.

This ability opens up completely new possibilities for applications such as square or rectangular duct insulation and self-supporting prefabricated ducts. The products still achieve good insulation values and are highly rigid.
