DyStar, a Singapore-based specialty chemicals company, has announced the cessation of manufacturing operations at DyStar Hilton Davis with partial integration of production within DyStar LP in Reidsville, N.C.

The latest integration will impact the production facility of DyStar Hilton Davis, which primarily manufactures food, drug and cosmetic dyes (FD&C), drug and cosmetic dyes (D&C), lakes, technical dyes and pigment dispersions. As part of its ongoing efforts to consolidate and optimize its manufacturing footprint in the U.S., the facility will cease production operations June 30, 2025.

Following the final installment of the group’s consolidation plan, the company’s operations in the Americas will focus its main production activities at the sites in Reidsville, N.C., and Cheyenne, Wy.

“We believe that the success of the strategic plan will position DyStar to decisively respond to the fundamental changes taking place in the industry and enable us to improve profitability while maintaining strategic product development capability, and to accelerate growth over the long term,” says Xu Yalin, managing director and president, DyStar Group.

“The overall plan builds upon our global capabilities and resources, and it reinforces DyStar’s strong commitment to strategic investments, product and service excellence, as well as productivity improvements that will drive our company, customers and industry forward,” says Clement Yang, vice president of global manufacturing, DyStar Group.

DyStar remains committed to working closely with all stakeholders, including affected employees, customers, suppliers and partners, to minimize the impact on business operations and to ensure a smooth global transition.

The company will support affected employees with necessary resources during this transition, including resources and opportunities for employees to apply for open positions at other operational locations in the Americas.

The company will continue to supply FD&C and D&C dyes, lakes, technical dyes and pigment dispersions from other sites within its global network.
