It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the anticipated May 1, 2021 closing of our purchase of Henkel’s
Thermal Clad Insulated Metal Substrates (“TCLAD”) business by our parent company, TCLAD Technology Corporation, a
subsidiary of Polytronics Technology Corporation ("PTTC"). We are taking actions to ensure there will be no delays in
service or manufacturing during this transition period following closing.
TCLAD Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of TCLAD Technology Corporation, will take over the TCLAD business
from Henkel, including all dedicated assets, business, facilities, and technology of the TCLAD product line. All Henkel
TCLAD personnel, including sales and technical teams, will become part of the new TCLAD Inc., team. As a part of our
global manufacturing strategy, manufacturing operations will remain in Prescott, Wisconsin. The new company name
recognizes the history and roots of the TCLAD business and represents our commitment to even greater standards in the
future.
Our Vision: To be the world’s foremost thermal solutions provider of Insulated Metal Substrates (IMS) materials, and
custom printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Our Mission: To build meaningful customer relationships, actively participate with product design, and develop new
materials and processes that exceed expectations.
Our Promise: To provide the best experience for our valued customers
TCLAD History: As a part of The Bergquist Company, and later Henkel Corporation, the TCLAD business was one of the
first pioneers in the late 1980s in the development of IMS technology. The business developed a proprietary process for
manufacturing high-quality dielectrics designed for applications which require high thermal performance and electrical
strength for applications including automotive, lighting, power, aerospace and defense. The TCLAD business is vertically
integrated with automated laminate material and world class IMS circuit manufacturing facilities, which are dedicated to
metal-based printed circuits. Over the past few years, investments in facility, equipment, and process improvements have
exceeded $18 million. TCLAD products enjoy a reputation as some of the most reliable, high performance materials in
the global market today.
