The launch of Stainward carpet therefore marks a significant addition to the existing product portfolio of INVISTA's Performance Surfaces business. In other segments of China's commercial carpet sector, the company is already a major player, as well as being one of the largest producers of polymers and fibers globally.
INVISTA's constant pursuit of opportunities to innovate and collaborate at every stage of the textiles and apparel value chain make the company unique in the industry. Its networks of long-standing relationships position the company ideally to identify and harness synergies between mills, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, adding value to partners and sharpening their competitive edge.
"Stainward carpet was created in response to what we were hearing from our partners in China, who identified demand for a carpet fiber with several of the same key benefits as Antron, but at a more affordable price point," continued Mark Delaplane of INVISTA.
"Following a lengthy and careful research and development process, I believe Stainward carpet provides an exact match for their needs and illustrates what is possible when a global company applies its know-how and resources to developing solutions for a specific market need. INVISTA will continue to seek opportunities to serve the growing needs of its customers in China and all over Asia."
