    Avgol to Add Three Lines In Russia

    Multi-tier investment includes R5, meltblown and lamination lines

    06.29.21
    Avgol has announced a three-tier investment at its Uzlovaya site which will enhance the company's role in existing markets and help it expand into new areas.

    The largest part of the investment is the addition of a high-speed, high-capacity flexible Reicofil 5 production line, which will provide  greater production capacity for growing regional markets and support the release of new Avgol technologies, according Tommi Bjornman, CEO of Avgol.

    “Serving the growing baby diaper, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene markets along with satisfying sustained demand for meltblown filtration and medical materials, this investment enables Avgol to deliver an improved degree of service across the entire area while consolidating and strengthening our existing position,” he says.

    Avgol, an Indorama Ventures Limited company, offers a comprehensive range of ultra-lightweight spun-melt nonwoven fabrics to the global hygiene market. The latest investment, Avgol's third line in Russia, will include biocomponent and corresponding high-loft capabilities thus producing materials for applications that meet the needs of upper tier products for hygiene customers.

    In addition to the R5 line, Avgol will add a meltblown line as well as a new line offering cutting-edge lamination capabilities at the Russia site. These investments will not only enhance Avgol's offerings to its existing markets but will also allow it to explore new opportunities in other markets.

    “The RF5 line, meltblown line and lamination capabilities will provide us a powerful set of platforms as a base from which to provide high-value products for our customers,” says Bjornman.  “It will enable us to further diversify the Avgol innovation portfolio while remaining true to our roots.”

    The investment will also significantly support further sustainable product development in Avgol, under its innovative FIT™ (Forward Innovative Thinking) strategy. “Avgol is committed to the future of nonwoven fabrics with a particular focus on bringing polyolefins forward as viable resins in single use articles,” he said.

    “We are excited to bring new assets, new capabilities, and new technologies that will challenge customer expectations of the nonwoven fabric industry.”

    This investment will make the Russian production facility  the second largest site for Avgol after the company's North American site in Mocksville, NC.
