DSM’s New PA 6 Plant to be Built in US state of Georgia

DSM Engineering Plastics has decided on Augusta, Georgia, USA, as the site of its new North American plant for polyamide 6 sold under the Akulon trademark.

The new facility manufacturing high viscous polymer for film grades used in flexible food packaging and other segments will be built next to DSM's existing facility that produces medium viscous grades of both Akulon and Novamid PA 6 polymers for a wide variety of components used in the E&E, automotive and consumer applications.

DSM said the decision to locate the plant, its first in North America for high viscosity grades, in Augusta demonstrates the "close working relationship" between the Dutch company and the state of Georgia.

Construction is now set start in the first quarter of 2015 with completion scheduled for mid-2016.
