Bolingbrook company creates 'clean room'

BOLINGBROOK - Filmquest Group, a global supplier of polyester film, has announced the investment and implementation of its first "clean room" environment.

Filmquest has been working to complete its first clean room to provide customers with an uncontaminated environment for food and medical applications to meet market demands that have increased dramatically this year, the company said.

"As we became inundated with COVID requests for material to create masks and face shields, we quickly recognized that a clean room environment would be needed for many pandemic suppliers for the foreseeable future," said John Felinski, president and CEO. "To better accommodate these requests, we were able to fast-track the project, and buyers have been anxious to take advantage of our new feature."

Designed specifically to control air flow, temperature and pressure, Filmquest's clean room offers protection from contaminants such as dust and airborne particles, ensuring a superior production environment for Filmquest's customers' Questar polyester requirements.
