Leistritz Reactive Extrusion Twin Screw Workshop
We’re excited to announce that we will host Leistritz’s 2026 Reactive Extrusion (REX) Workshop—a first-time event to be held at the Polymers Center of Excellence (PCE).
This workshop will combine in-depth classroom sessions with live demonstrations of REX twin screw extrusion systems and analytical testing methods, all conducted at the PCE facility.
We’re proud to provide the space and resources for this hands-on learning opportunity and look forward to welcoming participants to Charlotte.

New R&D Line at The Polymers Center
Blown Film Trial to Evaluate Dispersion A trial was conducted at The Polymers Center utilizing our Syncro Micro Extruder to assess dispersion in blown film. For further discussion on experimental trials, please contact The Polymers Center.
The Polymers Center is excited to announce our new Extrusion Fundamentals course, led by industry expert Scott Lambert . Designed for both newcomers and seasoned professionals, this comprehensive two-day training offers a valuable opportunity to deepen understanding of extrusion principles.
The Polymers Center continues to explore the potential of sustainable materials with another successful trial. This time, the team has produced high-quality pellets from a 98% recycled polymer material. Contact us to learn about our capabilities in polymers processing and production, our commitment to innovation, and our support of a circular economy.
The Polymers Center continues to advance the science of specialty polymer materials, producing this unique compound with specialty liquids. Through precise control of time, temperature, airflow, and water speed, innovative materials are developed to meet industry-specific demands. Every variable plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality.
Contact The Polymers Center to learn more about compounding unique materials.
Throughout the symposium held at The Polymers Center on April 29-30, speakers examined the complexities of plastics recycling and outlined steps to transition from a linear to a circular economy—where all plastics are continually reused rather than discarded in the landfill.
