东丽工业公司于2013年9月27日宣布,以5.84亿美元(每股16.75美元)收购卓尔泰克(Zoltek)公司从而进入大丝束碳纤维业务。卓尔泰克是一家大型碳纤维制造商。大丝束碳纤维应用于许多场合,如风力涡轮机叶片和纤维增强塑料化合物,采用改性的聚丙烯腈(PAN)短纤维生产线生产。东丽计划使卓尔泰克成为其全资子公司,以进入大丝束碳纤维业务。 Toray Industries Inc. announced on September 27, 2013 that it will enter into the large-tow carbon fiber business by acquiring Zoltek for 584 million U.S. dollars (16.75 U.S. dollars per share). Zoltek is a large carbon fiber manufacturer. Large tow carbon fibers are used in many applications such as wind turbine blades and fiber reinforced plastic compounds, produced using modified polyacrylonitrile (PAN) staple fiber production lines. Toray plans to make Zoltek its wholly owned subsidiary to enter the large tow carbon fiber business.
