Universa integrates nonwoven technologies to meet spectrum of workplace cleaning needs
June 2, 2026

Universa is a new, consolidated range of industrial wipers that brings together the trusted performance of Magnera‘s Chicopee and Sontara. brands. Designed to simplify selection while delivering performance across a wide range of industrial cleaning applications, Universa combines versatility, consistency and proven expertise in wipes substrate technology.
Built on Chicopee’s leadership in foodservice and general cleaning applications and Sontara’s proven expertise in critical and industrial environments, Universa integrates cross-brand nonwovens technologies to meet a broad spectrum of workplace cleaning needs. The result is a simplified, easy-to-navigate product platform that delivers consistent performance across every day, heavy-duty, and precision cleaning tasks, according to the company.
Engineered for versatility across industries, the Universa portfolio incorporates three proven nonwoven technologies—airlaid, Spinlace and Sontara, to deliver features such as high absorbency, high abrasion resistance and virtually lint-free performance. These materials can be used in applications ranging from routine daily maintenance to demanding and critical cleaning environments.
The Universa product lineup includes: Universa Core, an airlaid wiper designed for daily maintenance, facilities cleaning and janitorial applications where fast absorption and operational efficiency are essential; Universa Plus, which is manufactured using Spinlace technology to deliver a strong, absorbent, cloth-like feel suitable for a wide range of industrial and general-purpose cleaning tasks; and Universa Max, which is engineered with Sontara technology to provide low linting and superior abrasion resistance for demanding environments that require maximum durability and reliability.
“Universa is a natural evolution of Magnera’s capabilities,” says Seth Good, Americas Product Line Director for Chicopee and Sontara. “By aligning category-leading technologies under one platform, we’re better equipped to serve customers who need consistency, performance and choice across every level of industrial wiping.”
Launching in early June, Universa is developed and manufactured domestically in the U.S., reinforcing Magnera’s commitment to quality, supply chain reliability, and local production.”
