This morning an IDEA10 Entrepreneurial Achievement Award was presented to Fi-Tech, which in 2009 took the uniquely bold step of forming a joint venture company with Uwe Gaedike, and successfully completing the purchase of Oerlikon Enka Tecnica GmbH.
“IDEA10 is the only place this year that the entire industry is in one place at the same time and it is appropriate that the Achievement Awards be presented here because these companies and individuals have contributed greatly to the advancement of our industry,” said INDA president Rory Holmes. “All of the finalists already have my thanks and appreciation for their contributions to our business in the past three years.”
Added Matt Carey, publisher of Nonwovens Industry, “Like our friends at INDA, we are proud to be able to recognize the companies and individuals that are responsible for the growth of this business and for the success of IDEA10 and of the nonwovens industry.”
