May 29, 2020 - United States Of America

DSM Protective Materials has made FibrXL its global premium distribution partner for Dyneema products. The initial focus will be on Europe and North America. DSM Protective Materials will continue to service its strategic customers directly as well as develop both innovative and cost-efficient solutions. FibrXL provides fibre enhancement services.

Dating back to 2011, DSM Protective Materials has had a long and successful relationship in Europe with EuroFibers, who merged with the Lumat Group and Dominion Fiber Technologies to form FibrXL in January 2020.

FibrXL has invested in capabilities to offer fibre enhancement services that contribute to the adoption of Dyneema by a wide range of customers and end-users. Given the longstanding relationship, FibrXL is the ideal partner to contribute to DSM Protective Materials’ growth.

Jan Lodewijk Lindemulder, global business director for Maritime and Industrial Fibres at DSM Protective Materials, said: “Our longstanding relationship with EuroFibers, now FibrXL, has proven itself successful over many years. We are confident that FibrXL will ensure the continuous growth of our Dyneema offering for various end-markets worldwide.”

Marcel Alberts, managing director of FibrXL, said: “We are excited that we can support DSM Protective Materials in their growth ambitions by expanding our distribution network worldwide for Dyneema products. This extended partnership gives a larger range of customers and end-users the opportunity to access these products and with our fibre enhancing services and state-of-the-art Prisma coating technology, we help them to improve performance and reduce system costs.”
