The beginning of the company that produce LLumar foils is associated with the '50s, when Jules
Hermes began to paint fibers that were used for carpets in Martinsville, Virginia. The company was
later renamed "Martin Processing", and soon became famous thanks to its development and achieved
quality.
In 1989, Courtaulds bought the company "Martin Processing" and other foil manufacturers and founded
"Courtaulds Performance Films" ("CPFilms"). Over the years, Courtaulds has been continually
developing its drive by purchasing innovative machines, such as coating, lamination, scratch-free
layers, silicone protective coating, metal spraying and mating.
Since 1998 „CPFilms” works within „Solutia” group, the leader in artificial materials and special
chemicals production, until 2012 when the well-known “Eastman” bought „Solutia” group for 4,8
billion dollars.
Eastman Chemical Company is one of the world’s leading companies in the field of chemicals and other
