It has recycling operations that process post-industrial and post-consumer PET waste into fibre and keep by-products out of landfill.<\/p>\n

USFibers said the funding represents the next stage of its development.<\/p>\n

The proceeds aim to help add production capacity to address demand in core end markets, develop technical and product capabilities with a focus on specialised and engineered fibre applications.<\/p>\n

The funding is also aimed at expanding coverage through possible entry into new markets and value-added services, as well as continuing to spend on recycling infrastructure.<\/p>\n

USFibers will remain under its current management team led by Teddy Oh, with operations continuing under the existing structure.<\/p>\n

Oh said: \u201cWe are excited to partner with Glisco and OIC as we build on the strong foundation we\u2019ve established over the past three decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment strengthens our capacity, broadens our capabilities, and allows us to continue delivering high-quality, customised solutions to our customers. Just as importantly, it positions us to be an even stronger, long-term partner to our employees, suppliers, and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to USFibers\u2019 website, it operates a pilot-scale staple production line and a pilot-scale needlepunch nonwovens line.<\/p>\n
