DyStar Hilton Davis, a leading manufacturer of food, drug, and cosmetic dyes, is making strategic moves to enhance its manufacturing presence in the Americas. The company has announced the halt of production at its facility on 30 June as part of its consolidation strategy.
Following this phase of consolidation, DyStar’s operations in the Americas will primarily be conducted from its facilities in Reidsville, North Carolina, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. This strategic decision is aimed at improving profitability and accelerating long-term growth in response to industry changes.
DyStar Group managing director and president, Xu Yalin, emphasized the importance of this strategic plan in positioning the company for success amidst industry shifts. The company is committed to working with employees, customers, suppliers, and partners to ensure a smooth transition and mitigate any adverse effects on business activities.
During this transition period, DyStar will provide assistance to impacted employees, including offering opportunities for them to seek positions at other DyStar locations within the Americas. The company remains dedicated to honoring all commitments with integrity and in accordance with company policies and legal mandates.
Despite the closure of the facility, DyStar assures its customers of continued supply of FD&C and D&C dyes, lakes, technical dyes, and pigment dispersions from other sites in its global network without compromising on quality or sustainability. The company’s global manufacturing vice president, Clement Yang, emphasized DyStar’s commitment to strategic investments, product excellence, and productivity improvements to drive the company and industry forward.
With a global workforce exceeding 1,500 personnel distributed over 50 nations and 13 production facilities, DyStar remains a key player in the industry. This strategic move in the Americas follows DyStar’s recent restructuring of its Ludwigshafen facility in Germany, showcasing the company’s dedication to optimizing production efficiency and driving growth.
