NILIT Ltd. (Hebrew: נילית בע"מ) is a privately owned, international manufacturer of nylon 6.6 (polyamide) fibers and thermoplastics headquartered in Migdal HaEmek, Israel.〔(NILIT main page ); retrieved 17-02-11.〕 NILIT has two divisions. NILIT Fibers specializes in the polymerization, spinning and texturing of nylon 6.6 yarns for textile applications. NILIT Plastics manufactures nylon 6.6, nylon 6, and PBT compounds for injection molding, monofilaments, profile extrusion and film blowing and casting. These plastics are then used to make components of automobiles, consumer goods, medical products and electronics. thumbnail ==History== NILIT Ltd. was founded in 1969 by Ennio Levi, a man who immigrated to Israel with his family from Italy. Construction of the plant began in 1971 in Migdal HaEmek, Israel and production began in 1974, making NILIT the first Israeli manufacturer of nylon. In 1978, NILIT began polymerization. In 1981, NILIT began salification. In 1988, NILIT's 5 denier yarn entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's finest nylon yarn. In 1995, NILIT founded Euronil Thermoplastics Compounds SpA in Rho Milan, Italy〔(New compounding plant in Italy ); retrieved 08-03-11.〕 – its first manufacturing facility outside of Israel. Euronil began manufacturing two years later, specializing in flame retardant thermoplastics and internally lubricated plastics. It was later renamed NILIT Plastics Europe S.r.l. In 1996, Sara Lee Hosiery and NILIT signed a joint venture (today named H.N.F. Ltd – Hanesbrands Nilit Fibers) to produce nylon 6.6 POY yarns for the Hanesbrands apparel line in NILIT's Israeli manufacturing facility. In 2006, Hanesbrands was spun off from Sara Lee to become a standalone, publicly held company. In 2001, Unifi, Inc., a yarn processor, and NILIT signed a joint venture (named U.N.F. Industries Ltd. – Unifi Nilit Fibers) to produce nylon 6.6 POY yarns for texturing in NILIT's Israeli manufacturing facility. In 2004, Pompea SpA and NILIT signed a joint venture (named P.N.F Ltd). In 2006, they together initiated a new POY production line located in NILIT's Israeli manufacturing facility. In 2006, NILIT began a series of acquisitions of manufacturing facilities worldwide. The first was the fibers business of Invista Apparel Europe in 2006. In 2007, NILIT acquired Frisetta Polymer in Germany. The company was then renamed NILIT Plastics Europe GmbH & Co. KG. Finally, in 2009, NILIT acquired Nylstar〔(Israeli firm buys Nylstar ); retrieved 08-03-11.〕 in Martinsville, Virginia, USA and renamed the company NILIT America, Inc. At the same time, NILIT founded two manufacturing facilities in China.〔(Nilit Strengthens Presence and Position in Chinese Market ); retrieved 08-03-11.〕 It established NILIT Nylon Technologies (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. which began texturing yarns in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China in 2008. A year later, NILIT (Suzhou) Plastics Engineering Co., Ltd. began compounding thermoplastics. In 2012, NILIT launched its POY spinning plant in China and in 2013 the official inauguration ceremony for both the spinning and compounding thermoplastics sites in Suzhou, China took place. In 2013 Nilit started Texturing and covering in Brazil. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nilit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
