On March 31, 2025, Avient is pleased to announce a successful collaboration with its key customer, Resia, a vertically integrated real estate company specializing in the development, construction, and management of multifamily communities, and through its subsidiary Resia Manufacturing, exclusively producing bathrooms and kitchens for modular construction across the United States.

Resia Manufacturing utilizes its Resia production system and its patent-pending panel system to produce high-quality, fully assembled, ready-to-install kitchen and bathroom components for residential construction. Their 252,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Fairburn, Georgia, employs the cutting-edge HybridFabrication process, enabling efficient production of components including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The completed components are then transported to construction sites, where they can be installed much faster than traditional building methods. This process reduces construction time by 30%, enhances quality, and decreases on-site labor by 40%, thereby improving safety and efficiency.

Resia Manufacturing integrates Avient's Hammerhead™ thermoplastic composite panels into the interior wall systems of bathroom and kitchen modules. The large-format sandwich panels offer a lighter structural solution that assembles faster than traditional wood-framed drywall or plaster wall systems.

It is reported that the Hammerhead™ composite panel is made of thermoplastic continuous glass fiber reinforced panels and a polyester foam core.

Resia's Manufacturing Quality Director, Mitch Sklar, stated: "The Hammerhead™ composite panel is a cost-effective and durable solution for our wall systems. Our collaboration with Avient has helped us further streamline the manufacturing process, enabling us to achieve production goals quickly and efficiently."

Mike Mosley, General Manager of Avient's Advanced Composites Division, stated: "We are proud to collaborate with industry leaders like Resia to introduce our thermoplastic composite panels into the modular construction market. Their intelligent and efficient processes are truly revolutionizing the way homes are built, and we are excited to contribute to their success."
