    2020 Nonwovens Sales: $916 million

    Dante Parrini, chairman and CEO; Chris Astley, senior vice president and CCO; Sam L. Hillard, senior vice president and CFO

    North/South America Facilities—Charlotte, NC; York, PA; Fort Smith, AR; Gatineau, QC; Mount Holly, NC; Gainesville, GA; San José, San Rafael, Costa Rica
    Europe Facilities—Zug, Switzerland; Caerphilly, United Kingdom; Heidenau, Germany; Pritzwalk, Germany; Gernsbach, Germany; Lydney, United Kingdom; Nidda, Germany; Scaër, France; Steinfurt, Germany; Milano, Italy
    Asia Facilities—Moscow, Russia; Suzhou, China; Lanoa del Norte, Philippines

    Major Markets
    Feminine hygiene, wipes, tabletop, adult incontinence, home care, food and beverage, building and industrial

    Investment continues at Glatfelter Corp. The Charlotte, NC, manufacturer of airlaid and wetlaid nonwovens will significantly increase its exposure to the spunlace and wipes markets through the planned acquisition of Jacob Holm Industries, a deal announced in July 2021, for $308 million.

    The acquisition of the Swiss nonwovens producer will include sites in North Carolina, Tennessee, France and Spain which manufacture high performing and innovative spunlace and advanced fiber-based sustainable solutions for the growing wipes, healthcare and hygiene categories. Jacob Holm’s global nonwovens sales are approximately $400 million per year and this has the potential for growth as the company completes a global investment program that is expected to add 500 million square meters to its annual nonwovens output.

    “Today’s announcement represents another significant step forward in Glatfelter’s transformation. The combination of Jacob Holm’s quality spunlace and advanced fiber products along with Glatfelter’s industry-leading airlaid and composite fibers products will provide a best-in-class suite of nonwovens technologies, applications, and expertise to serve customers’ growing global demand. By acquiring Jacob Holm, we will further diversify our nonwovens and substrate offerings and enhance our overall innovation capabilities,” says Dante C. Parrini, chairman and CEO.

    This acquisition follows Glatfelter’s purchase of Georgia-Pacific’s U.S. airlaid operations in May 2021 for $175 million. This deal included a large-scale airlaid manufacturing operation in Mount Holly, NC, as well as a nonwovens research and development center in Memphis, TN. The Mount Holly facility has a capacity of 37,000 metric tons and produces high-quality airlaid products focused on wipes and tabletop materials. G-P acquired the site through its purchase of Buckeye Technologies. This business generated approximately $100 million of sales and $20 million in EBITDA in 2020.

    Glatfelter also purchased G-P’s European operation, an airlaid line in Steinfurt, Germany, in October 2018 for $185 million. This line added approximately 32,000 metric tons to the company’s global output.

    Glatfelter’s latest organic capital investment was a new line capable of making 20,000 tons airlaid nonwovens in Fort Smith, AR, which came onstream in mid-2018, representing a $90 million investment. The new line has helped Glatfelter meet growing demand for wipes and sustainable substrates. Glatfelter’s state-of-the-art airlaid facility in Fort Smith expanded its airlaid capacity by 20%.
    In 2020, Glatfelter’s airlaid business achieved record sales of $392 million despite a slowdown in the tabletop business brought on by restaurant closures amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Feminine hygiene comprised the most of the airlaid segment’s sales, representing 52%. This market saw heightened demand in 2020 as consumers stockpiled necessity items.

    Although everyone expected that there would be another increase in sales at the beginning of the second lockdown wave, there was not. This caused Glatfelter’s customers to have high inventory levels. Glatfelter has seen an increase in demand now that things have reopened and believe this trend will continue to rise as people become more comfortable stepping back into society.

    To meet the demands of their customer, Glatfelter has manufactured the thickest and most absorbent wipe substrates on the market while remaining eco-friendly. The company is also committed to operating responsibly by using primarily plant-based raw materials from certified suppliers, reducing their energy and water consumption, and developing wipes substrates that do not contain chemically regenerated or fossil fuel based components. A need for this quality of wipes has increased throughout the years due to convenience and versatility.

    Glatfelter’s airlaid materials can offer a sustainable alternative in disposable products because they use cellulosic wood pulp as the majority component (more than 70%). The balance is a combination of binder dispersions and fibers. Glatfelter is working on replacing the oil-based binders and fibers with plant-based materials and commercializing 100% plant-based airlaid products for wipes, tabletop, food pads and absorbent hygiene applications.

    Glatfelter is devoted to operating as a responsible steward of the environment and creating a more sustainable world for future generations. This pledge is stated through their Core Value of Environmental Responsibility and their company-wide environmental policy.

    The focus on sustainability also extends to Glatfelter’s composite fibers segment which includes wetlaid nonwovens targeted at applications including wall coverings and beverage filters. Sales in the composite fibers business were approximately $525 million in 2020. This segment showed continuous improvement, operational excellence and strong productivity.

    The company’s Dynagreen portfolio offers the most sustainable options for tea and coffee filter applications in the market and is the best-in-class and first heat-sealable filter paper in its category. These heat-sealable filters are made of cellulose fibers and a natural plant-based polymer.

    In industrial applications, Glatfelter successfully developed more efficient solutions for batteries and capacitors.

    Glatfelter continues its journey of enhancing everyday life with engineered materials that are rooted in nature and engineered to perfection.
