LANXESS already initiated the restructuring of the fibers business in the spring of this year. Effective April 1, 2005, the polyamide and polyester monofilaments business was carved out of the former Dorlastan Fibers & Monofil GmbH and transferred to a separate company, Perlon Monofil GmbH. The two business areas had no customers or products in common and operated in different markets. This reorganization paved the way for the sale of the Dorlastan business.
One of Europe's leading chemical companies, Lanxess was spun off from Bayer AG, succeeding most of its chemical business and part of its polymer business. Lanxess has an extensive product portfolio ranging from solid rubbers and plastics to high quality basic and fine chemicals.
The Dorlastan brand has been one of the leading brands in the synthetic fibers market since 1964. DORLASTAN is the embodiment of textile elasticity.
Asahi Kasei Corporation provides innovative solutions based in chemistry and materials science to a diverse range of markets including fibers, chemicals, consumer products, housing, construction, electronics, and health care.
