RadiciGroup, one of the world’s leaders in the polyamide 6 and 6.6 industry, is refocusing on its core nylon business (PA synthetic fibres) in Brazil. It has suspended Crylor® acrylic fibre production at its Brazilian site Radici Fibras Ltda in São José dos Campos. Radici Fibras Ltda is going to centre its attention on nylon synthetic fibres – of which RadiciGroup is the undisputed leading manufacturer not only in South America but also in Europe – and on research aimed at potential projects for the conversion of the site into a production facility for special technical fibres and carbon-fibre precursors.
