Continued investments to secure the future

INVISTA plans to invest approximately half a billion dollars (USD) over the next five years to further strengthen its global nylon 6,6 polymer and intermediates supply chain. (Posted: Summer 2025)

Since being acquired by Koch, Inc., in 2004, INVISTA has helped create robust nylon 6,6 polymer supply chains around the world. As the only supplier with adiponitrile (ADN), hexamethylene diamine (HMD) and nylon 6,6 polymer production assets in North America, Europe and China, the company has focused on providing reliable, regional supply systems to all customers.

From building the world’s largest integrated nylon 6,6 facility in China to identifying alternative raw materials to meet ISCC PLUS certification requirements, INVISTA continues to lead in innovation focused on helping our customers reach their goals.

A foundation of stability

With a commitment to financial health, INVISTA (through INVISTA Equities, LLC) maintains investment grade credit ratings of BBB/Stable and Baa2/Stable from S&P Global and Moody’s, respectively, and is a subsidiary of Koch Companies, LLC, (AA-/ Aa3 credit ratings from S&P Global and Moody’s, respectively) one of the world’s largest privately held companies. Koch’s investment philosophy is to reinvest 90% of earnings back into the business, helping support continued growth and innovation.

Priorities and key focus areas:

Commitment to stewardship improvements focusing on environmental priorities including innovation, energy efficiency, air quality, water, and responsible resource management. For more than 20 years, INVISTA has developed and implemented new technologies to make nylon 6,6 as competitive as possible. INVISTA continues to invest in its production facilities to provide products with competitive product carbon footprints (PCF) and lifecycle assessments (LCA).

Continually investing to create production and distribution efficiencies by adding new capabilities. These changes will provide more optionality and improved service to our customers.

Ongoing improvements to our systems to ensure reliability, including proper preparation for maintenance turnarounds to ensure long-term operational stability. This commitment to reliable, robust manufacturing capabilities accounts for more than 50% of INVISTA’s expected investment and is critical to ensure customers have a reliable supply of intermediates and nylon 6,6 polymer around the world.

Building on our vision for innovation

With more than $2 billion already invested in expanding our global ADN capabilities and developing our Yinglon site in Shanghai, INVISTA plans to invest an additional $500 million to strengthen the nylon 6,6 supply chain to better serve customers into the future.

Additionally, INVISTA recently opened two state-of-the-art technology centers to further advance nylon 6,6 development.
The Texas Technology Center
The Asia Innovation Center

ADN technologies

As a key ingredient for nylon 6,6 fibers and plastics, we have deployed our latest advantaged ADN technologies for intermediates sites in North America and Europe to reinforce supply and availability.

Yinglon site

We have completed the build-out of our integrated Yinglon site (Shanghai, China) with ADN and additional polymer capacity, meeting Asia-Pacific in-region demand for nylon intermediates and polymer.

Ready to grow?

A strong, stable supply of nylon 6,6 polymer is critical for the long-term success of our customers. While we invest, we want our customers to be confident in their decision in choosing nylon 6,6.
