Invista to discontinue nylon 6,6 polymer production in Chattanooga

08-Jul-16

Invista has decided to discontinue nylon 6,6 production at Chattanooga.
"We know this news is difficult, and the decision was very carefully considered," said Kevin Robles, senior vice-president of Invista operations. ""Unfortunately, the infrastructure at Chattanooga is less competitive than other Invista North American regional polymer assets. Therefore, to better position the company for long-term success, we are consolidating our North American polymer assets to most efficiently meet our customers' preference for regional supply. Invista is making this announcement now to ensure that employees, contractors, site tenant companies and customers have as much time as possible to plan for the future."
