INVISTA’s fiber manufacturing plant is undergoing a $30 million expansion in South Carolina which will enable the company to rapidly respond to small-lot capability specifically for solution dyed nylon 6,6 technology to meet carpet fiber demands.
Marc Ahrens, vice president of INVISTA’s specialty flooring business said that their mill customers and the design community rely on INVISTA to offer a palette of hundreds of solution-dyed nylon 6,6 colors for each of their unique design preferences.
The new technology will expand their capability to offer sophisticated color families while at the same time improving service.
INVISTA developed this innovative, proprietary small-lot technology by working closely with equipment manufacturer, Truetzschler.
The variety of small-lot nylon 6,6 fibers will initially be offered under INVISTA’s Antron Lumena brand to serve the global, growing solution-dyed nylon BCF markets.
Dr. Dirk Burger, CEO of the Truetzschler Group said that they are pleased to be supplying INVISTA with the highest quality of BCF extrusion technology for this important expansion. Truetzschler thanks INVISTA for their confidence in their company.
