Following approval by the board of directors and management, the nonwovens business formerly owned by DuPont will now be included in the Specialty Products company expected to be spun off of the newly merged DowDuPont. Following recommendations of a team of independent advisors, the newly merged company made a number of adjustments between the Materials Science—where the nonwovens business was originally set to land—and Specialty Products divisions to enhance the companies' competitive advantage.
