Braided Tubing is New at NewAge(R)
      NewAge® confirmed that their new investment in extrusion equipment replaces machinery purchased in the 1990’s which “showed signs of wear, and the group felt that breakdowns were only a matter of time”.  John-Paul Deitz of NewAge continued by saying "availability of replacement parts was starting to come into question. And extrusion equipment and the software that helps run it has come a long way in the past twenty-plus years”.  “We don't want to be down a production line if a piece of equipment fails. That would eventually put our inventory and our customers' needs in jeopardy" Deitz added. This press release follows the August 2018 press release announcing that NewAge® Industries had invested $10 million in a remodeling project which created ISO Class 7 and Class 8 clean rooms in existing space at the company’s headquarters.
