In December 2017 Coats acquired Patrick Yarn Mill (PYM), a manufacturer of high-performance engineered yarns based in North Carolina, US.
PYM specialises in cut-resistant and flame retardant yarns. It also produces yarns from recycled fibres marketed under its earthspun® trademarks and with its large solar installation promotes its earth friendly yarns as ‘Spun by the Sun’.
PYM’s unique spinning competencies in engineered performance yarns offer an opportunity to expand Coats’ existing Performance Materials portfolio as well as extend its innovation capability.
We are supporting PYM’s expansion into high-growth markets by leveraging our unrivalled geographic footprint, breadth of global customer relationships and strong corporate brand.
