Innovative Composites International Inc. opens a manufacturing plant in Orangeburg, South Carolina on April 19, 2012. Located on a 34-acre site about 60 miles from Charleston, the 126,000 square-foot manufacturing plant will have the capacity to produce up to 5,000 homes a year. The unmatched durability of ICI's new housing system is achieved by constructing the homes with easy-to-assemble, fibre-reinforced Structure Lite panels coated with ICI's RmorSkin a breakthrough protective material engineered to resist high impacts. The panels, constructed entirely with recyclable materials, are also designed to be moisture resistant, mold and mildew resistant, insect resistant, impact resistant and UV resistant. The company also produces shelters that are designed to facilitate quick delivery and assembly, a performance advantage that makes them ideal in a wide variety of temporary or permanent applications, including emergency relief sites, mining camps and remote villages. The shelters, available in two configurations (8' x 16' or 8' x 20' configurations), are made of the same durable base materials as the houses.
