Let’s Work Together
The true advantage of working with Fox River Associates is our partnership approach. We work together with our partners and take the time to learn about our customers’ exacting specifications, processing conditions and end-use applications.
We listen for what a customer knows about the application and help to identify the unknown data points that could affect the final release liner specification criteria. Because each application that uses a film release liner or paper release liner is unique, the experienced team at Fox River Associates asks additional probing questions to learn more about the smaller intricacies involved. Using the customer provided information, our team then applies their vast knowledge and experience in coating and manufacturing environments, adhesives and coatings, release parameters and end-use application conditions to recommend the most appropriate liners to begin the evaluation process. The Fox River Associates team knows that it is our role to understand the demanding requirements for our paper release liners and filmic release liners and work diligently to recommend the appropriate release liner products for each customer’s specific needs.
