Synthetic fibres: RadiciGroup is refocusing on its core nylon business in Brazil. Acrylic fibre production has been suspended.

RadiciGroup, one of the world’s leaders in the polyamide 6 and 6.6 industry, is refocusing on its core nylon business (PA synthetic fibres) in Brazil. It has suspended Crylor® acrylic fibre production at its Brazilian site Radici Fibras Ltda in São José dos Campos. Radici Fibras Ltda is going to centre its attention on nylon synthetic fibres – of which RadiciGroup is the undisputed leading manufacturer not only in South America but also in Europe – and on research aimed at potential projects for the conversion of the site into a production facility for special technical fibres and carbon-fibre precursors.

RadiciGroup, an industrial multinational with diversified businesses in chemicals, plastics and synthetic fibres, is once again concentrating on its core business of nylon fibre production in Brazil. The Group has announced that, as of 6 January 2014, acrylic fibre production is suspended at its Brazilian site Radici Fibras Ltda in São José dos Campos.
