New DuPont Kalrez FFKM Manufacturing Facility
DuPont is in the final stages of opening a new Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts manufacturing facility at their Tralee Park Annex site, located at 322 Ruthar Drive, Newark, DE 19711.
Included in the processes and capabilities at their new facility will be the manufacture, finishing, inspection, packaging, and shipping of Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts. DuPont intends to begin shipping parts processed at the new facility starting in August 2023.
The quality management system (QMS) for the Tralee Park location (5 Tralee Industrial Park, Newark, DE) is certified to ISO9001:2015, AS9100D and NADCAP and includes the oversight of all Kalrez® parts. The QMS at Tralee Park will maintain control over all quality activities until DuPont can complete the scope expansion audit to include the Tralee Park Annex, with the expectation that certification will be achieved before year end 2023.
DuPont's QMS includes robust systems to:
- Identify and understand the needs and expectations of interested parties
