US-based makers of synthetic filament-based fibres for the flooring, transportation and industrial fibres industries, Universal Fibers was celebrating the opening of its new European facility this week in Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland.
"In support of our honored customers in Europe, we are thrilled to be opening our newest manufacturing facility here in Poland," said Marc Ammen, CEO of Universal Fiber Systems. "This aligns with our strategy for global growth which began in 2009 with expansion into Asia and later in the U.K. Since then, customer response has been tremendous and we are winning in partnership with our industry leading products, quality and service."
From extrusion to finished yarns in multiple chemistries like type 6 and 66 nylon, the plant is fully integrated. It also serves carpet manufacturers across the continent working in the residential, commercial and automotive sectors.
"This new facility marks another investment in our commitment to provide the highest level of quality and service to our customers," said Phil Harmon, President of Universal Fibers. "As a global company, our leading technologies from the US and Asia are now deployed locally in the European market. We couldn't be more pleased with this investment and the platform it provides Universal Fibers to expand in the region."
"Universal Fibers is one of two business units within Universal Fiber Systems," said Marc Ammen. "As our corporate portfolio continues to expand, this plant furthers synergy opportunities currently in place in the U.S., Europe and China for our second business unit, Premiere Fibers."
