New Technologies and Innovative Uses for the Tricel Product

The introduction of CO2 emissions targets and correlated penalties continues to spark the conversation with an even stronger focus on weight reduction as a lever to minimize fuel consumption.

The leader in honeycomb core material, Tricel first introduced the honeycomb core material to the fiberglass truck cap industry in the early ’70s, and continues as the preeminent cost-effective core material used today.
