DAK Americas LLC is one of the largest integrated producers of PET resins in the world and the main producer of polyester staple fibers in the Americas announced its plans to add 230 million pounds of polyester staple fiber (PSF) capacity to meet the growing demand in the Americas. The new fiber capacity will be installed at Dak’s PET resin site in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
The expansion work is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016. Polyester fibers made at the new site will be used in textiles and nonwoven applications, including some in the automotive market. The new fiber facility at the Pearl River Site geographically will strengthen DAK’s ability to supply fibres across the Americas with a second U.S. fiber manufacturing location and places DAK in a good position to service the growing Mexico fiber market, officials with Charlotte, N.C.-based DAK said in an Aug. 28 news release.
