September 2025

Selenis reinforces their production capacity of high-end specialty polyesters by increasing its capacity by fifty-five million pounds per annum through their recent agreement to gain controlling access to a production facility in North Carolina. With the continuous development and growth of the North American market the company followed through in their expansion plans to produce locally.

“Our objective is always to take care of our people, our customers and our shareholders. This recent agreement will help us expand the geographic and industry reach of our products. I would like to outline that this is an important milestone towards servicing our customers with the best possible solutions,” explains Duarte Matos Gil, Selenis CEO.

Selenis, global supplier of high quality and innovative specialty polyester solutions for diverse applications, is a subsidiary of the IMG Group, a multinational with more than sixty years of experience in the industry. With production sites in Portugal, Italy, and now the USA, Selenis has both flexible batch and continuous SPP technology, permitting the production of a wide range of polymers to meet highly technical markets. Their production configurations provide Selenis the flexibility to produce both amorphous and crystallized products.

Their mission relies on employing their profound knowledge of polymers, formulations, and processing, to partner with their customers in developing future-fit solutions and commit to create opportunities. Highly focused on sustainability, Selenis centers their innovation in developing products with up to 50% recycled content and solutions fully recyclable in the PET stream. Their progress in molecular recycling turns waste into the building blocks of their specialty resins, contributing to the fight against climate change.
