Digitising the world’s strongest fiber: A modern Umbraco foundation for Dyneema®

A Google search result for Dyneema, titled "The World's Strongest Fiber." The description highlights that it is 15 times stronger than steel and light enough to float on water.

The project transitioned Dyneema® to a flexible Umbraco CMS, replacing a fragmented digital presence with a high-performance, component-based storytelling platform. This architectural shift ensures the brand can scale its digital narrative across global markets while maintaining the technical agility required for a world-leading innovation brand.

Background

Despite its status as an unparalleled high-performance material, 15 times stronger than steel, Dyneema® faced increasing pressure from competitors and a digital presence that didn't match its innovative DNA. Avient required a total digital transformation to relaunch Dyneema® as a premium ingredient brand, shifting the focus toward its core attribute of strength and its value throughout the product design lifecycle.

Solution

true engineered a modern, content-rich digital experience utilising Umbraco’s flexible, block-based architecture. This modular approach allows for rapid storytelling updates as Dyneema® expands into emerging markets. By leveraging Umbraco’s intuitive editing interface, we empowered Avient to manage a complex portfolio of use-cases from ballistic protection to high-tech fabrics within a single, performant CMS that reflects the brand’s premium positioning.

Impact

The migration to Umbraco provided a scalable framework that successfully echoes the brand’s new vision of innovation and physical resilience. The component-led design ensures that as the fiber continues to evolve, the digital platform remains responsive, maintaining a high-speed, compelling user experience that differentiates Dyneema® from market copycats.

“The relaunch of the Dyneema® brand identity and new Dyneema.com website has been recognized within all of Avient as the benchmark for marketing excellence.”
