About Oracal® Vinyl

   Based in Black Creek, Georgia, ORAFOL® Americas Inc., an ORAFOL® Europe GmbH subsidiary since 2006, changed its name from ORACAL® USA in a continuous effort to better align the ORAFOL® Group of companies.

   ORAFOL® Americas Inc., Graphic Products Division, manufactures premium vinyl graphic films, digital media, laminating films, and reflective products used in the signage, graphics, digital printing, screen printing, and traffic and safety applications. Additionally, ORAFOL® Americas markets a wide range of industrial tapes for applications ranging from the solar industry to point of purchase applications. The company’s distribution network spans the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

   The Black Creek facility is one of the most modern of its kind, in the Americas, and ensures both high-quality products and rapid turn-over time for delivery. This facility completed an expansion in 2009 that included approximately 160,000 square feet of additional storage space for finished goods, and close to 50,000 square feet of ground-floor space for packaging and shipping. In addition to the plant expansion, capital investment in an adhesive coating line and automated roll retrieval system brought the total capital investment project to $20 million.

The ORAFOL® Precision Technology Solutions produces specialty tooling used in the manufacture of microstructured optical films and plastic lenses. Most of the tooling goes through precision cutting and electroforming processes. These tools are shipped to ORAFOL® facilities around the world. The Precision Technology Solutions used to be a part of Reflexite Corporation, which was acquired by ORAFOL® in 2011.

In 2012 the ORAFOL® Precision Technology Solutions was expanded, increasing the ORAFOL® New York state facility from 2.600 m² to over 7.000 m².

The 4.400 m² is housing new machinery and specialized processes to make the tooling used to manufacture specialized microstructures that have a wide variety of uses, including reflective materials, concentrator lenses used to produce electricity from sunlight; and lighting diffusers and brightness films used in computer display applications.
