Company Background

Performance Fibers was established in 2004 when the business was sold by Honeywell International to Sun Capital Partners, Inc. The Performance Fibers business of today continues a legacy of commitment, reliability, growth and innovation that traces its roots to the post-World War II years when the fibers business was begun by Allied Chemical (subsequently AlliedSignal and Honeywell). Initially, the fibers group produced nylon for use in apparel and industrial applications. In the early 1970s, production of polyester began and in the years that followed came product improvements and innovation, as well as international expansion.

Today, Performance Fibers is a multi-national manufacturing company with production sites on three continents. The business has sales, marketing, technical and applications support, as well as manufacturing, in North America, Europe and Asia. It is a global leader in fibers and fabrics for tires, a significant supplier of fibers for automotive safety belts and a major resource for a diversity of industrial fibers products.

Our experienced leadership, exceptional global technical support and industry-leading sales and marketing all contribute to our long-standing, distinguished customer relationships.

In addition to our outstanding products, customers turn to Performance Fibers for insights on global business trends, supply-demand perspectives, acquisitions and joint venture developments downstream.
