I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Teijin Ltd., Kolon Industries, Inc., Honeywell International Inc., SRO Aramid (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., Hyosung Corporation, Toray Industries, Inc., Yantai Tayho Advanced materials Co., Ltd., Ibiden Co., Ltd., and Huvis Corporation, among others.

The past endeavors and futuristic advancements, sum-up to comprehend the overall growth of the global aramid fiber reinforcement materials market.

For instance, in January 2020 CFK Recycling firm, based in German was winner of the Sustainable Industry Challenge – Chemport Europe edition, for developing a method for sustainably recycling carbon fibres. CFK Recycling won € 100,000 to spend on Teijin Aramid’s sustainability challenge by recycling aramid.

Furthermore, in March 2020, one of the key players of the global aramid fiber reinforcement materials market, Kolon Industries, SKC sold stakes in their joint venture SKC Kolon PI, a PI a polyimide film company, for some 300 billion won ($250 million) in a bid to acquire seed funding to nurture new businesses. Kosdaq-listed SKC Kolon PI is the world’s largest polyimide film manufacturing company. This strategic stake sell-off aims at propelling the company’s fast-growing aramid fiber and transparent PI film businesses. The company also expects to invest in R&D projects and to propel the manufacturing lines. While trying to achieve organic growth with its internal capabilities, it will also seek for inorganic growth via M&As and strategic partnerships.
