The producer of aramid fibers, Teijin Aramid BV, Arnhem/The Netherlands, will restart the last spinning line for p-aramid fibers at its Emmen/Netherlands plant. Demand for Teijin Aramid's super-strong Twaron fiber declined sharply in 2009 during the economic crisis. The forecast for production of aramid in 2010 has been adjusted upwards. With the restart of the last spinning line, all spinning lines will be operational and production will be at full capacity. The schedule calls for this spinning line to be operational once more and stable in the last quarter of 2010. Production rose by 21.7% in the first quarter of 2010 over the same period in 2009.
