We are one of the few suppliers that invest in R&D. Every year we spend three to four percent of our sales on R&D, focusing especially on products and technologies that improve fastness properties, exhibit a better ecological profile and provide cost advantages for our customers. Building on our heritage which stretches back more than 150 years, innovation will continue to play a central role at DyStar in the future to help our customers remain at the leading edge of the textile industry.
