BAINBRIDGE, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer” or the “Company”), a leading next generation bioplastics company focused on the development and production of biodegradable materials, today announced that it received notice the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) suspended trading of its common stock on the NYSE effective immediately and started the process to delist its common stock from the NYSE.
