A US$30-million expansion at Invista’s fiber manufacturing plant in South Carolina will enable the company to rapidly respond to small-lot, carpet fiber demands.

The investment represents the industry’s first-ever offering of one-step, small-lot capability specifically for solution-dyed nylon 6.6.

Marc Ahrens, Vice President of Invista’s specialty flooring business, says, “Our 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 our 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, Trützschler.

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.
