The Business Divisions of Taconic

Taconic is a privately owned company, consisting of three business divisions, all specializing in coating of glass fabrics with PTFE:

  • Advanced Dielectric Division (ADD)

  • Industrial Products Division (IPD), which manufactures a wide range of coated materials, including specialty fabrics, pressure sensitive tapes, engineered conveyor belts and silicone products. Its sub-division, Food Products Division, offers a wide range of fabrics and converted materials to the institutional, retail food and food service markets.

  • Architechtural Fabrics Division (AFD), whose products are designed to provide leightweight, fire proof, and beautiful alternatives to traditional architechtural materials.

    • Introducing Advanced Dielectric Division ADD
    Taconic Advanced Dielectric Division manufactures PTFE/woven glass base materials for microwave, RF and high speed digital applications. Applications include LNAs, LNBs, PCS/PCN antennas, GSM and UMTS antennas, power amplifiers, passive components, collission avoidance radar, aerospace guidance telemetry, phase array radar, etc.

    ADD USA
    The World Headquarters of Taconic Advanced Dielectrics Division (ADD) is located in Petersburgh, NY (USA). This facility incorporates the best available computer controlled vacuum lamination equipment, a clean room with computer aided design capabilities, and all appropriate test equipment. Most of the current equipment was installed in early 2001 as part of a major capacity expansion programme.

    ADD Europe
    Taconic ADD in Mullingar (Ireland) is equipped like the Petersburgh facility, and was built to serve the European market. The vacuum chamber lamination press installed in early 1997 is still one of Europe's most modern press for any type of base materials. In Summer 2002 a new clean room class 10,000 was installed as part of a further expansion phase.

    Dual Sourcing
    Two base material manufacturing sites in different parts of the world, allows Taconic ADD to offer its customers a unique, dual-sourcing capability for microwave and RF materials. Aside from world class quality and service, this feature becomes more important as the RF, microwave and high-speed digital designs increase their complexity.
