DSM expands Dyneema® production

Royal DSM plans to increase production capacity for Dyneema® due to increased demand for both Dyneema UD (Uni-Directional laminate) and Dyneema fiber. The company will install additional new UD technology at its plants in Heerlen, Netherlands, and in Greenville, N.C., and will also make improvements to existing production lines to expand Dyneema UD and Dyneema fiber capacity, incorporating the latest technologies. The global production capacity of Dyneema UD will increase by more than 20 percent,
further strengthening DSM’s product leadership under the Dyneema brand.
