July 22, 2013 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 91, Issue 29

Teijin will spend $45 million to build a plant producing meta-aramid fiber at its existing site in Thailand’s Ayutthaya province.

Aramid fiber is often used in protective apparel such as body armor and fire-resistant clothing.
