USA’s biggest recycled polyester fibre manufacture receives new investment

Date:

US based polyester fibre recycler, USFibers which is the largest vertically integrated recycler and producer of polyester staple fibre in the United States, has received new investments from Glisco Partners and Orion Infrastructure Capital.

The new investments will help expand production capacity to meet growing demand across key end markets and also enhance technical and product capabilities that improve efficiency, particularly in specialized and engineered fibre solutions.

The investments will also help the fibre recycler to extend coverage, including potential expansion into new markets and value-added services and further reinforce USFibers’ leadership and commitment in sustainable fibre production.

Founded in 1994, USFibers has integrated recycling capabilities that convert post-industrial and post-consumer PET waste into high-quality fibre and divert byproducts from landfills.

The company serves a diverse set of end markets including automotive, filtration, and geotextiles, and is known for its technical expertise, customized product offerings, and long-standing customer relationships.

“We are excited to partner with Glisco and OIC as we build on the strong foundation we’ve established over the past three decades,” said Teddy Oh, CEO of USFibers.

“This investment strengthens our capacity, broadens our capabilities, and allows us to continue delivering high-quality, customized solutions to our customers. Just as importantly, it positions us to be an even stronger, long-term partner to our employees, suppliers, and customers,” he added.

According to the Circularity Gap Report 2025, the world consumes 106 billion tons of materials annually, but only 6.9% comes from recycled sources.
