DyStar is to cease manufacturing operations at its DyStar Hilton Davis site by 30 June and will partially integrate production into another site at Reidsville, North Carolina. This follows previous moves to consolidate operations here and at Cheyenne, Wyoming, most recently in February by selling another facility in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“We believe that the success of the strategic plan will position DyStar to decisively respond to the fundamental changes taking place in the industry and enables us to improve profitability while maintaining strategic product development capability, and to accelerate growth over the long-term,” said Xu Yalin, managing director and president.

The deal to sell the land on which DyStar Carolina Chemical to Constellation Real Estate Partners should be complete in Q4 or early 2026. The company said that the consolidation of its operations into Reidsville will help towards its goal of improving operational efficiency, reducing costs and enhancing overall productivity. 

Headquartered in Singapore, DyStar combines the formers dyes and pigments businesses of multiple global players. Its products include dyes for food, drugs and cosmetics, lakes, technical dyes and pigment dispersions.
