Arclin Invests in Asturias Facility to Expand Nomex Floc Production Capacity
Arclin announces investment to expand Nomex manufacturing capacity
Arclin announced a multimillion-dollar investment to expand floc production capacity at its Asturias, Spain facility, strengthening its global Nomex paper manufacturing network. The company is delivering record paper volume in 2026 and expects continued supply growth in 2027, with construction completed by the end of 2027 and full commissioning planned for early 2028. The expansion targets rising demand across aerospace, electrical infrastructure, defense, and transportation markets.
Expanding Nomex floc capacity in Asturias will shorten lead times for aramid paper used in electrical insulation and aerospace honeycomb, but plant managers should monitor qualification timelines for new production lines to avoid supply gaps during the 2027–2028 transition.
