PROFILE |
 |
The way Wellman prospers from polyester, you'd think leisure suits are back in style. The company's fibers and recycled products group (56% of sales) makes Fortrel-brand polyester fibers for the textile industry and recycled polyester fibers used in pillows, comforters, carpets, and other products. The company's "Geotextiles" are used as barriers and stabilizers in civil engineering projects. Wellman's recycled fibers come from reclaimed plastic bottles and film. Its packaging products unit brings in 44% of sales by making PermaClear, a solid-stated polyester packaging resin used in soft-drink bottles and other food and beverage packaging. Wellman operates six plants in the US, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
