We hereby inform you that Teijin Aramid's decided to discontinue the production and sale of Endumax®. After a thorough assessment of this product line, both in the market and financially, we have come to the conclusion that Endumax® cannot be continued at Teijin Aramid.
We informed our internal and external stakeholders as early as possible and stay in close contact with them to limit the impact of this decision to them as much as possible. We are still on the market despite discontinuing Endumax®. Twaron®, one of our high-performance aramid fibers, will continue to serve as a reinforcement for a variety of applications, thereby extending their lifetime and enhancing their performance.
