Syensqo, a leader in specialty polymers, announces a capital investment to expand Ryton PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) compounding capability at the Augusta manufacturing site in Georgia, US.

The Augusta facility, already known for its large-scale Amodel PPA and KetaSpire PEEK compounding and its local aromatic resin production, including PPA and PEEK, is now equipped to supply Ryton PPS compounds, thereby simplifying its North American supply chain and enhancing control and efficiency.

The site’s IATF 16949 certification ensures adherence to the highest standards in the automotive industry, reinforcing Syensqo’s reputation for material excellence and assuring customers of top-tier product quality.

“This investment demonstrates our commitment to providing reliable, high-quality materials to our customers. By increasing control on our local capacity, we are better equipped to meet North American market demands and navigate complex trade environments,” said Brian Baleno, Director of Global Business Development and Program Management at Syensqo.

This strategic move enhances our offerings in the automotive, energy, and construction sectors, with a focus on materials for electrification, lightweighting, and connectivity applications.
