Aquafil S.p.A. is an Italian chemicals company focused on the production of polyamide 6 (nylon 6) polymers and synthetic fibers. The group operates manufacturing and R&D facilities in Europe, North America, and Asia, supplying materials to textile, carpet, automotive, and industrial customers.
Its portfolio includes nylon 6 polymer and continuous filament yarns, such as bulked continuous filament (BCF) yarns for carpets and textile filaments for apparel and technical applications. Aquafil is also known for its ECONYL regenerated nylon, produced from post-consumer and post-industrial waste streams like discarded fishing nets, carpet waste, and textile scraps, supporting circular material flows and reduced reliance on virgin resources.
