Epsilyte Investments Increase Production and Recycling Capacity

THE WOODLANDS, Texas --Epsilyte, a leading producer of advanced materials in North America, announces investments to expand capabilities in both recycling and production. These investments will focus on three areas:

These investments are expected to bring a combined 245 million pounds per year of production capacity to the North American market in support of the forecasted strong growth in the advanced materials markets.
