Israeli fibre producer acquires Invista's Brazilian facility/ Future plans to produce PA 6.6 resin?

摘要

PA fibres and engineering plastics specialist Nilit (Migdal Haemek / Israel; www.nilit.com) has acquired Invista's (Wichita, Kansas / USA; www.invista.com) plant in Americana / Brazil. The US group's Invista Nylon Sul Americana produces mostly PA 6.6 fibres, but also has its own compounding facility. Invista said it plans to focus its Brazilian activities on producing Elastan ("Lycra") fibres. In response to a PIE query, a company spokesman for Nilit said that since both companies are privately held, they had agreed to keep mum about the transaction price. The transaction is set to be completed by the end of this year.
