Invista pledges investment in US facility

10/05/2017
Polymer and fibre manufacturer Invista will invest more than $65 million in state-of-the-art fibre production equipment as its facility in Camden, South Carolina.

The move will significantly increase the company’s US production capacity for specialty fibres, including nylon 6,6 fibre. 

Jeff Brown, vice president of Invista’s Performance Materials division, said the investment would involve a combination of patented and proprietary technology, and solution dyeing technology. He predicted it would “create a strong platform for future growth”.

Mr Brown also revealed that Invista chose to invest in the Camden facility as it is situated at the heart of the textile industry. It is “an ideal footprint for reinvesting in high performance solutions” as it is Invista’s largest integrated nylon polymer and fibre production facility, he added.
