A month ahead of schedule, the trial production for DyStar’s additional indigo line at the company’s manufacturing hub in Nanjing, China, successfully started on April 1.
The latest technology and several process improvements from DyStar’s first experience at the Nanjing plant and from the company’s global team in Ludwigshafen, Germany, were implemented.
