The troubles for
WNI started surfacing in 2007 when it sold its nylon spun-boned business, Cerex Advanced Fabrics.
Not long after its formation,
WNI acquired Mid Ameria Fiber as well as the continuous tow business of Reliance Industries and, in 1999 purchased Cerex Advanced Fabrics, Pensacola, FL, adding nylon spunbond nonwovens to its offerings.
WNI also announced that it has reached an agreement with its lender to provide debtor-in-possession financing, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, to fund the its business operations while it completes the sale process.
The transaction positions Cerex with a new ownership structure that intends to continue to invest in the long-term growth of the business," commented Ken Hardin, president and CEO of
WNI.
