Sales of Shalag Group continue to benefit from the acquisition of Texsus as well as organic growth in North America. The company acquired the Italian maker of air through bonded nonwovens and laminated materials in late 2019. The deal included sites in Italy and North Carolina.
The integration process of Texsus and its manufacturing sites has progressed during 2020 and continues. The acquisition has enhanced the company’s global service capabilities and helped position Shalag as a world leader of air-through bonding technology and significantly contributed to its business performance.
With a current nonwovens capacity around 60,000 tons, Shalag is investing in strengthening its European site and market position with state-of-the-art technology updates and expanding its product portfolio. Its latest investment is an upgrade to an old line in Israel to offer modernized up-to-date technology.
According to CEO Ilan Pickman, the current global logistical and raw material crisis has made it difficult to characterize conditions in the global air through bonded markets.
