Aquafil S.P.A. is an Italy-based chemical and synthetic fiber manufacturer specializing in polyamide 6 (nylon 6) polymers, fibers, and yarns. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Arco, Trentino, the company supplies materials to the flooring, apparel, and engineering plastics sectors. Aquafil is listed on the Italian stock exchange (Euronext Milan).
The group operates a vertically integrated production network across Europe, North America, and Asia, covering polymerization, spinning, and texturing. Its activities include bulked continuous filament (BCF) yarns for carpets, textile filament yarns, PA6 polymers, and compounds. Aquafil also runs recycling and depolymerization operations under its ECONYL regeneration system, which converts end‑of‑life nylon waste streams—such as discarded fishing nets and carpet fluff—into new PA6 feedstock, supporting circularity in textile and plastics applications.
