The full allocation of the second spun-melt asset in Radomsko, Poland as well as commercialization of printed nonwovens helped drive sales slightly higher at Union Industries. In addition to increasing the company’s nonwovens output in the region, it has allowed the company to deliver novelty soft grades of nonwovens for hygiene applications.
The focus on specialties and innovation led to the addition of an air through bonded line in Radomsko, Poland. The investment has allowed the company to deliver nonwovens for premium topsheet application of unprecedented softness and new eco-sustainable fabrics for the hygiene market.
Looking ahead, the company decided in December 2019 the investment in a Reicofil 5 bicomponent spunmelt line in Masserano, Italy. The new line is expected to begin production in the first half of next year.
In addition to investment, Union Industries remains committed to its sustainability efforts. This includes a conversion to using green energy for 100% of its consumption since year 2010 and the establishment of its own hydroelectric power plant.
