Technology Labs Parkinson Technologies hosts two state-of-the-art technology labs at our corporate headquarters in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Here, with guidance from our technical experts, customers gain valuable hands-on experience using our equipment to conduct product/process development trials, and to manufacture samples for testing, analysis, and marketing purposes. The Marshall and Williams Plastics Extrusion and Orientation Pilot Lab Facility is the most versatile plastic film and sheet extrusion and orientation laboratory commercially available for customer use. It provides a unique opportunity to develop products, optimize processes, generate samples for pre-marketing evaluation, and even produce low volume quantities of commercial materials.
