    "In 1972, AKZO developed its first para-aramid. In 1982 it was decided to start with its commercial production. In the meantime, the new fiber had been renamed Twaron, and forecasts for the product were better than ever before. In 1986, the new plants in Delfzijl and Emmen began production. The first spool, which was made using raw materials from Delfzijl, came off the spinning machine in May 1986. Twaron entered the market one year later. In 2000, Teijin Ltd. took over all Twaron activities. This marked the start of a series of successful and ambitious investments and expansions. Teijin Aramid now markets four different brands of aramid worldwide. Twaron is by far our strongest brand. Since April 2017, all aramid activities within Teijin Ltd. have been merged under one joint aramid business unit, called Teijin Aramid. This was a special and historic step within Teijin, and a compliment to the entire aramid organization. With the addition of our Teijinconex neo plant in Thailand, and our Teijinconex and Technora plants and two R&D centers in Japan, we are now more than ever a strong and international organization. Teijin Limited, our Japanese parent company and the holding company of Teijin Group, is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the areas of sustainable transportation, information and electronics, safety and protection, environment and energy, and healthcare. Teijin Group has some 150 companies and around 16,000 employees spread out over 20 countries worldwide."

    "Concordia was founded in 1920 as a manufacturer of silk yarns, and for the next 70 years the company grew to become a leading producer of synthetic yarns and threads for traditional textile applications. In the late 1980's Concordia took its fiber handling expertise to new levels, using textile science to expand its capabilities into engineered products including advanced composites for aerospace, filtration media, power transmission belts, sailcloth, and many other applications. In the early 2000's Concordia again took its innovative skills into new fields. Utilizing its years of experience in fiber handling, the company began designing and building machines specialized in forming textile structures from bioabsorbable fibers. A new 1,000 square foot clean room was added in 2003. In 2005 Concordia acquired the tissue engineering scaffold assets of Albany International Research Company and Biofelt® was born. In 2008, Concordia moved its medical business to a new facility in Warwick, RI, where Concordia Medical was able to expand its capabilities to produce a variety of non-woven bioabsorbable polymer substrates. In March of 2011, Concordia Medical was purchased by Biomedical Structures, LLC which is dedicated to maintaining Concordia's tradition of quality excellence. Concordia Fibers continues to design and manufacture high performance yarns in its Coventry, RI facility for leading apparel, industrial fabric, and advanced composite companies throughout the United States and the world."
