Nonwovens sales at Dalian Ruiguang Nonwoven Group continue to benefit from the company’s ambitious investment strategy. In recent years, the company has added three new lines—one spunbond and two spunlaced—bringing an additional 17,000 tons of capacity to the group’s output. This investment was well timed and has served spikes in demand for spunlace disinfectant wipes, meltblown, spunbond and SF medical protective apparel.
In addition to these three lines, in 2020 Ruiguang added one N99 meltblown line and a wetlaid pulp composite spunlace production line to meet demand in the filtration and flushable wipes markets, respectively.
The new meltblown line, which was imported from Germany, will allow more sophisticated N99 materials for air and filtration applications unlike its existing line which was not as sophisticated.
Meanwhile, Ruiguang’s new fully degradable pulp wetlaid composite spunlace production line adopts European imported production lines and combines nonwoven carding technology with wet-laid paper technology. Products made on this line contain more than 50% wood pulp content so that the product can be completely degraded at a more reasonable cost. The design concept of environmental protection and green products has been adopted. After European legislation concerning single use plastics—including some varieties of wipes—various countries have successively introduced similar policies for disposable products.
Spunlace nonwovens, one of Ruiguang’s main product areas, has seen significant growth in China and globally because the Covid-19 epidemic has increased peoples’ cleaning habits in public spaces. This led to an increase in the use of disinfectant wipes. Additionally, younger consumers are more likely to use products like toilet wipes, kitchen wipes and floor wipes, which have grown significantly.
Currently, Ruiguang has just one manufacturing site in Dalian, China, where all of its operations are concentrated. This facility will contain 21 production lines once the most recently announced investments are completed and it will serve customers all over the world. However, investing in foreign countries to help overcome transportation challenges and build Ruiguang into an enterprise with an international vision and operations is still the ultimate goal of the company, according to executives.
