1. Teijin Aramid

2. History
Our roots
In 1972, AKZO developed its first para-aramid. In 1982 it was decided to start with its commercial production.
In the meantime, the new fiber had been renamed Twaron, and forecasts for the product were better than ever before. In 1986, the new plants in Delfzijl and Emmen began production. The first spool, which was made using raw materials from Delfzijl, came off the spinning machine in May Twaron entered the market one year later.
In 2000, Teijin Ltd. took over all Twaron activities. This marked the start of a series of successful and ambitious investments and expansions. Teijin Aramid now markets four different brands of aramid worldwide. Twaron is by far our strongest brand.

3. Teijin Aramid in short

4. What is aramid?
Aramid fibers are man-made high- performance fibers, with molecules that are characterized by relatively rigid polymer chains.
These molecules are linked by strong hydrogen bonds that transfer mechanical stress very efficiently, making it possible to use chains of relatively low molecular weight.

5. Research & Development
Research & Development is at the heart of everything we do as a company. We believe that the best solutions are developed through cooperation with our customers. 5% of our turnover is invested in R&D.

6. Sustainability
We want to create value in a sustainable way. By developing durable, eco- friendly, profitable and cost- effective solutions together with our customers and suppliers.
