Romatex will invest in a new batt forming line in Cape Town, South Africa dedicated to the production of Maliwatt products used in a wide range of applications, including home textiles. Start-up of the line is planned for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Andritz will deliver dedicated batt forming equipment, mixing an aXcess card and an eXcelle crosslapper to achieve the technical characteristics Romatex requires in terms of product quality and line performance. This new stitchbonding line will enable Romatex to better serve the growing customer requirements in terms of availability of high-quality products.
Romatex has invested in two previous Andritz lines. “We bought our first line from Andritz in 2017, then another one in 2019,” says Helmut Höck, General Manager Operations at Romatex. “ We have been very satisfied with the close collaboration between our companies, the flexibility and reliability of the machines, as well as the excellent service from Andritz over all these years.”
Romatex is the leader in Maliwatt stitchbonding in Africa. One of the company’s key strengths is its product diversification. Today, the company offers a complete range of bed linen, duvets, pillows and stitchbonded products.
