DuPont’s performance polymers unit is to be merged with packaging and industrial polymers, as of 1 January 2016. DuPont also plans to merge its protection and building innovations units. DuPont’s performance polymers unit includes nylon, acetal and polybutylene terephthalate resins, as well as thermoplastic elastomers and biopolymers. The packaging and industrial polymers unit includes polymer modifers and additives and specialty resins used in adhesives, barriers, sealants and peelable lidding as well as the DuPont Teijin Films business.
“By bringing these business units together under common management structures, we are creating business of more significant scale to better serve our customers,” interim chairman and chief executive Edward Breen said.
