Aquafil S.p.A. (OTCMKTS: ECNLF) is an Italy-based manufacturer specializing in the production of polyamide (nylon) polymers and synthetic fibers. Headquartered in Arco, Trentino, the company designs and supplies raw materials and intermediate products for a wide range of industries, including textile, fashion, carpet, automotive, and industrial applications. Aquafil’s core operations revolve around the polymerization of caprolactam to produce Nylon 6, which serves as the foundation for its fiber extrusion and yarn spinning processes.
One of Aquafil’s signature offerings is its ECONYL® Regeneration System, a circular-economy initiative that recycles nylon waste—such as discarded fishing nets, fabric scraps and old carpets—into regenerated nylon yarn. This process recovers Nylon 6 through depolymerization and repolymerization, enabling companies in fashion and interior design to incorporate fully recyclable materials into their products. The ECONYL® line has earned recognition among textile brands seeking to reduce environmental impact and appeal to sustainability-focused consumers.
Founded in 1967, Aquafil has expanded its operations across Europe, North America and Asia. In addition to its Italian production sites, the company maintains manufacturing facilities in Slovenia, Croatia, the United States, Thailand and China. These global plants support regional supply chains and allow Aquafil to serve major markets in apparel, home furnishings and automotive upholstery. By integrating recycled raw materials with traditional polymer expertise, Aquafil aims to drive innovation in sustainable material solutions and promote the circular economy worldwide.
