Alpharetta, Ga.-based Arclin has completed its approximately $1.8 billion acquisition of DuPont’s Aramids business, adding the Kevlar® and Nomex® brands and expanding its position in high-performance, life-critical materials.
“Kevlar® and Nomex® are the gold standard … and we are very excited to incorporate the Aramids platform,” said President Mark Glaspey. He said the deal adds manufacturing operations in Europe and Asia and about 1,800 employees, with a focus on operational continuity and investment in innovation.
The combined portfolio now spans aerospace, electrical infrastructure, electric vehicles, personal protection and defense, strengthening Arclin’s reach in advanced protective applications.
“We’re excited to join the Arclin family,” said Aramids Business Unit President Matt Reinhardt, citing expertise in aramid fiber, high-strength, heat-resistant materials.
CEO Bradley Bolduc said, “We’re focused on accelerating what these materials can do across performance-critical uses.”
