    Don & Low to Add Spunbond Line

    Investment will target industrial applications

    12.13.17
    In line with parent company Thrace Group’s strategy, Don & Low has agreed to purchase a new 3.2 meter, Reicofil 4  bicomponent spunbond line specifically configured for industrial spunbond markets. The new investment will see the UK’s only spunbond manufacturer initially increase its plant`s capacity by 5000 tons. The expansion follows the company's 2016 investment in an Oerlikon Neumag meltblown line.

    The new technologies incorporated into this investment will broaden the company’s manufacturing capabilities, increase its product offering and provide technical solutions to meet both future customer and market demands. This investment will further cement Don & Low’s position as a technical leader in industrial markets.

    The new RF4 line has been specifically configured for industrial applications incorporating a unique capability—to produce significantly higher tensile and isotropic spunbonds. In addition, the line will produce both mono and bicomponent spunbond utilizing combinations of polypropylene and/or polyethylene and offers improved filament distribution. The line will further benefit from Reifenhäuser’s latest digital platform. This investment will be on stream in April 2019.

    In addition, the investment will see the nonwovens site expand to create a new unit to facilitate a secondary processing center of excellence, enhanced by a further investment in a high output, three colour printing line. This expansion will be complete in April 2018.
