USFibers Secures Strategic Investment To Expand Recycled Fibre Production
USFibers has announced a new strategic investment from Glisco Partners and Orion Infrastructure Capital to support capacity expansion, technical enhancement, operational efficiency and growth into new markets.
Founded in 1994, USFibers is one of the largest vertically integrated recyclers and producers of polyester staple fibre in the United States. The company converts post-industrial and post-consumer PET waste into high-quality fibre products used across industries, including automotive, filtration and geotextiles.
The investment marks the next phase of growth for the company and is expected to strengthen its position in sustainable fibre manufacturing while enhancing long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers.
Teddy Oh said the partnership would help the company build on its three-decade foundation while expanding production capabilities and customized product offerings.
“This investment strengthens our capacity, broadens our capabilities and allows us to continue delivering high-quality, customized solutions to our customers,” Oh said. “It also positions us to be an even stronger long-term partner to our employees, suppliers and customers.”
According to the company, the investment will support expanded production capacity to meet rising demand for recycled polyester products, particularly in specialized and engineered fibre applications. The funding will also be used to improve operational efficiency, strengthen recycling infrastructure and explore expansion into new markets and value-added services.
Alfredo Castellanos said Glisco sees significant long-term value in USFibers’ business model and management team, while Ethan Shoemaker highlighted growing market demand for recycled polyester and sustainable material solutions.
USFibers will continue to operate under its existing management team led by Teddy Oh, maintaining its focus on operational excellence, customer relationships and sustainable manufacturing practices.
The announcement comes at a time when demand for recycled materials continues to rise globally. According to the Circularity Gap Report 2025, only 6.9% of the world’s annual material consumption currently comes from recycled sources, highlighting the growing need for scalable circular economy solutions.
TM Capital, a division of Capstone Partners, served as exclusive financial advisor to USFibers for the transaction.
