    PFNonwovens Adding New Capabilities in Znojmo

    Aperturing, embossing line will differentiate products for hygiene and medical applications

    04.14.21
    PFNonwovens is adding new aperturing and embossing technology designed to boost nonwoven product performance. This new technology, which is being added in Znojmo, Czech Republic, will  allow PFN to make proprietary premium, apertured and 3D embossed fabrics to expand and diversify its product portfolio for the medical and hygiene markets. Installation and commissioning of the new line is scheduled for the first quarter 2021.
     
     
    PFN’s Chief Technology and Product Development Officer, Tonny de Beer, commented that “We are very excited to combine this technology to add even more value to our premium and ultra-premium softness solutions and to enhance our bio-sourced nonwoven portfolio,” says Tonny de Beer, chief technology and product development officer. “We will be able to offer new patterned topsheets with higher absorption, beautifully textured backsheets with improved breathability, and we will launch several new compelling product applications for our hygiene and medical markets."


    “PFN remains focused on delivering precisely tailored solutions to meet specific customer needs.  This investment provides our customers an easy and visually distinct way to differentiate their products from their competition, while providing better value to the end consumers,” says Shane Vincent, PFN’s chief commercial officer and global head of business development.

     
    PF Nonwovens is also in the process of a multi-stage expansion project at its U.S. site in Hazleton, PA and has recently completed work on a semi-commercial spunmelt line featuring Reicofil 5 technology in Znojmo. This line  allows the company to supply products which cannot be produced currently with conventional methods. It uses bicomponent technologies, offers a wide range of fiber types and profiles and enables the use of a variety of raw materials.
