At DuPont, we are creating fundamental innovations that the world needs today.
DuPont Luxembourg was founded in 1962. Today, we manufacture Tyvek® and Typar®, products used in electric vehicles, aerospace, personal protection, leisure and packaging, to name just a few applications.
DuPont employs approximately 850 people in Contern.
The site is located next to the railway station Sandweiler-Contern and is easily accessible by bus and by car.
DuPont manufactures Tyvek® and Typar® at their site. The production of DuPont™ Tyvek® in Luxembourg started in 1988 followed by additional production capacity of Tyvek® in 1995. The year 2024 marked the start of another expansion of Tyvek® production. Important uses of Tyvek®, among others, are medical packaging, personal protection garments and graphic applications.
DuPont™ Typar® was initially used as the primary backing material for broadloom carpets, today’s uses include a wide variety of applications, ranging from lining under rail tracks, roads and runways in airports to barriers for weed control in landscaping and substrates for building membranes, just to name some.

"My name is Lise Sarrazin, I'm 27 and I have been working for DuPont Luxembourg for 3 years. I'm a DuPont personal protection (DPP) technician. I'm in charge of R&D tests on products used to manufacture protective clothing. My work allows me to participate in testing all parts of the product, from the raw product to the marketed product. I enjoy working with a lot of different departments, as well as meeting customers from time to time. Working at DuPont Luxembourg also allows me to have a good balance between my professional and personal life with flex time."
