Who are we
We produce aramid
Teijin Aramid produces synthetic fibers that are stronger than steel. The lightweight, heat-resistant properties of aramid ensure the numerous products where our aramid is incorporated are safer, stronger, and more sustainable. Aramid is used in many applications such as car tires, hockey sticks, bridges, personal protective clothing, and the suits of the Formula-E Envision Racing team. At our company, we respect and value your unique contribution and fully support diversity and inclusion.
