Netherlands – Royal DSM has recently announced the strengthening of its leadership in high-performance specialty polymers with the operational launch of a new production line for Arnitel in Emmen, the Netherlands. The capacity will be expanded by 20 % and will enable greater supply flexibility and security.

The new production line will allow DSM to meet the growing demand for Arnitel high-performance Thermo Plastic Copolyesters (TPCs).
