Arclin has entered a definitive agreement to acquire DuPont’s Aramids business, including the Kevlar® and Nomex® brands, in a transaction valued at approximately $1.8 billion. The purchase broadens Arclin’s advanced materials portfolio into aerospace, electrical infrastructure, electric vehicles, defense and personal protection, complementing its existing operations in construction, infrastructure and transportation.
Approximately 1,900 employees will transfer with the business when the deal closes, expected in the first quarter of 2026 pending regulatory approvals.
“We are confident that under Arclin’s leadership, these businesses will continue to thrive and expand their impact in new industries and applications,” said Lori Koch, DuPont CEO.
Arclin, headquartered in Alpharetta, Ga., specializes in engineered materials and bonding solutions used in industrial, building and transportation markets.
