Comments: DuPont is one of the most technologically advanced companies worldwide. In the ink segment, DuPont has developed a range of products for a variety of industries, including inkjet inks for OEM printers and textiles and conductive inks and pastes for flexible and printed electronics, photovoltaics and displays.
In 2022, DuPont’s full year net sales were $13 billion in 2021, an increase of 4% compared to 2021 and up 8% on an organic basis. Full year operating EBITDA was $3.26 billion. Operating cash flow for the year was $58 million.
“Our fourth quarter results underpin the quality of our portfolio and our ability to offset a continued challenging global macro environment by focusing on the levers within our control,” said Ed Breen, DuPont executive chairman and CEO, in announcing the results. “In the face of weak conditions in certain end-markets, namely electronics and construction, we delivered revenue and operating EBITDA results in line with
our expectations.”
“Our teams successfully navigated a challenging 2022 despite significant inflation, global supply chain constraints, geopolitical tensions, dynamic global currencies and an ongoing global pandemic,” said Lori Koch, CFO of DuPont, in reporting the results.
DuPont Artistri primarily focuses on water-based pigmented digital inks for textiles, packaging and commercial applications. DuPont Artistri is transitioning the production and supply of Artistri reactive and direct disperse textile inks to Colourtex Industries Private Limited, as part of its sustainability strategy.
“With this strategic decision, our goal was to find a company capable of continuing to offer reactive and direct disperse inks at the quality level that the DuPont Artistri products are known for in textile printing,” Tucker Norton, GM for Artistri Digital Inks at DuPont, said in announcing the move. “With Colourtex’s vast experience and manufacturing capabilities, these products will meet customers’ standards for quality performance and delivery.”
Meanwhile, DuPont Artistri completed a capacity increase for the manufacturing of water-based pigment inkjet inks and dispersions at its plant in Fort Madison, IA.
“In the fast growing world of digital printing, our customers not only expect us to deliver inks with great colors and consistency, but they’re also looking for improved productivity as well as delivery flexibility and reliability,” Norton said in announcing the capacity increase. “With this capacity increase, we’ll be better able to respond to customers around the world and the growing demand for pigment inkjet inks.”
“We‘re very pleased to further contribute to the printer and OEM customers’ and brands’ transition to the sustainable printing processes enabled by water-based pigment inkjet inks,” said Eric Beyeler, global marketing manager, Artistri Digital Inks. “Artistri inks production capacity increase is another step in DuPont’s commitment to sustainable growth of digital printing in commercial, textiles and packaging.”
