Royal DSM announced last week that it will increase production capacity for Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™. The company is investing to install additional new UD technology at its plant in Heerlen, the Netherlands, and its plant in Greenville, N.C. The capacity expansion will enable DSM to fulfill the growing global customer demand. The growing domestic U.S. market will be served better from DSM’s Greenville facility. It will also make improvements to existing production lines to expand Dyneema UD and Dyneema fiber capacity, incorporating the latest technologies.
