A brief overview of Hanwha Azdel
Hanwha Azdel
Azdel Onboard® is the name known in industries such as RV, heavy truck, modular construction, and office panels. It is not a company, but a brand — a brand of Hanwha Azdel, Inc.
In 2007 Hanwha Advanced Materials, one of several divisions of Korea-based Hanwha Group, acquired Azdel Inc., a joint venture of GE Plastics and PPG Industries. The resulting company, Hanwha Azdel, Inc., would go on to become a world leader in the production of thermoformable and flat-sheet composite materials for a number of industries, most prominently automotive and recreational vehicles. The company now employs nearly 250 quality personnel members across three states.
Hanwha Azdel has become a world leader in the production of light-weight reinforced thermoplastic (LWRT), also known as “composite”. The two main divisions based in the United States focus on the production and supply of Molded Products (Automotive, etc.) and Flat Sheets (RV, mobile structures and other laminated applications.
Beginning in August, 2022, all three facilities began converting their power source to renewable energy. As of February, 2023, all three Azdel facilities are using renewable energy for their source in the forms of wind, water and solar power.
