DuPont Leader Credits Innovation, Differentiation and
Innovation, differentiation and productivity will be important for DuPont Performance Polymers, said business President Diane Gulyas during a presentation to industry analysts and investors at the Goldman Sachs Basic Materials Conference on May 24 in New York.
“The Performance Polymers business continues to be a solid growth engine for DuPont, driven by innovation, differentiation and productivity,” Diane said. “The combination of cost-effective, high-performance materials and a strong global development network attracts customers who are also committed to growth.”
Growth in Performance Polymers is driven by the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the fast-growing markets for industrial, electronic and consumer products in developing markets.
“Our success is far more than a materials story – the success equation requires science-powered innovation and a network of experienced developers to collaborate with our global customers on solutions to the big issues,” said Diane.

Last week, DuPont announced plans to build a DuPont™ Zytel® HTN high-performance polyamide polymerization facility at the Sakra, Singapore, site. This complements capacity expansions earlier this year at the Shenzhen, China, site for Zytel® HTN, as well as for DuPont™ Zytel® nylon. DuPont Performance Polymers remains the only nylon producer with polymerization facilities in all regions of the world.
“We’ve worked very hard to ensure the integrated capabilities of our company are close to our customers,” said Diane. “It’s a strategy that works and will continue to work.”
