As part of a restructuring of its nylon business, the fibers and polymers maker Invista plans to end nylon 6,6 polymer production at its Chattanooga, Tenn., facility and consolidate North American production at what it says are more competitive plants in Camden, S.C., and Kingston, Ontario.

One of those operations is a nylon compounding plant that the company opened in 2013.
