Good cooperation with customers was a main factor behind Pegas Nonwovens’ increase in sales last year. The company was able to increase its sales from about E65 to E69 million on functional relationships, quality management and leadership in the European bicomponent spunmelt market as well as investment in state-of-the-art technology.
The Znojmo, Czech Republic-based company is currently adding its seventh production line, which will be able to produce 15,000-17,000 tons of spunmelt nonwovens per year. Set to come onstream by the end of the year, the new line, Pegas’ seventh, will mainly target European hygiene markets. It will be situated at Pegas’ Znojmo, Czech Republic site
Even without the new line, Pegas is its region’s largest nonwovens producer, capable of producing 36,000 tons of spunmelt nonwovens on six production lines in Znojmo and at Pegas’ other facility in Bucovice, Czeck Republic.
More than 70% of its output targets the hygiene market, an area in which Pegas has achieved considerable growth during the past several years.
“Our focus has been on real and functional partnerships which respects all elements of the business, from the base to the details,” explained commercial director Frantisek Rezack,. “We also focus on speedy reactions, flexibility and the capability to easily find effective solutions. Partnership with our customers from a product point of view is based on efficient quality management and innovative potential of Pegas’ research and development. The last point of strategy, to grow in the hygiene market, is achieved through perpetual upgrade of older technologies but mainly investment in state-of-the-art equipment.”
While Pegas is working on development projects outside of hygiene, they are not expected to change the landscape of its business considerably. These projects contain added-value features that will allow Pegas to penetrate niche and specialty markets both within hygiene and beyond. “The practice of focusing on developing added value, bicomponent spunbond products has influenced and improved our competitiveness,” said Mr. Rezack. “We are going to continue on this effort.”
