Mission Statement:

We recognise that we are driven by enthusiasm, accordingly our business is turning that enthusiasm into

friendly additives, equipment and technology transfers to producers world-wide.

Our History:

On learning that there was only one producer of cast nylon in South Africa in 1996, Wilbur Cook the founding member of Advanced Nylons teamed up with a retired technical director of Polypenco/Erta/DSM as it was called at that time and set up South Africas second casting plant.

The business grew steadily and is still trading today, however, Wilbur Cook sold his shares and went to Europe for four years. Whilst in Europe he gained experience from running a plant in Germany, then went on to run and upgrade a plant in England. Whilst in Europe he also completed several design projects on processing equipment for both the UK and the USA.
During this time valuable experience in processing as well as applications was gained. On returning to South Africa - Advanced Nylons was founded and two complete casting plants were immediately built, one for export and the other for trading in the South African market.

Advanced Nylons produces the largest range of nylons in South Africa for the sub-continent's market.
The company is also providing processors in Europe, USA and Asian markets with equipment, technical support as well as additives.
