AKZO NOBEL GEOSYNTHETICS CO. HAS A NEW NAME BUT CONTINUES WITH SUCCESSFUL ENKA-ENGINEERED PRODUCT LINES
On January 1, 1999 the Acordis Group became the worlds largest dedicated fibers company employing over 19,000 people with production facilities in eight countries. This dynamic, multinational group of businesses supplies customers throughout the world with man-made fibers and specialty materials for industrial, textile, medical, and hygiene applications. Colbond Geosynthetics is a member of the Acordis Group.
The formation of this dynamic new company with fibers as its core business will generate synergies in purchasing power, sales, logistics and customer service. "Being a member of the Acordis Group means that Colbond Geosynthetics will have more opportunities in the future" said Joe Luna, Director of Sales and Marketing of Colbond Geosynthetics. "When we part of Akzo Nobel we were competing with all of the Akzo Nobel business units for capital. Now we're part of the world's largest synthetic fiber company; this offers us opportunities for growth that may not have been possible within Akzo Nobel. We're looking forward to the future."
