2022 Nonwovens Sales: $430 million
Plants
Gaziantep, Turkey; Cairo, Egypt
Processes
Spunbond and meltblown
Total nonwovens sales clocked in at $430 million at Gulsan Group. The Gaziantep, Turkey-based company has spunmelt nonwovens operations in Turkey and Egypt. While inflation, sudden demand changes and supply chain fluctuations affected the company throughout the year, business started to normalize in the second half of the year.
In 2020, the company announced it would add new lines at both sites with an estimated start-up planned for last year, however Gulsan has released little details on these lines including whether or not they have started up as planned.
These investments will support its growth in the industry and reinforce its position as one of the leading manufacturers of spunmelt materials to supply top quality, ultra-lightweight, diversified nonwovens with highly sophisticated and state-of-art technologies to its business partners for baby diapers as well as medical and health products in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region.
Prior to these investments Gulsan made 160,000 tons of spunmelt nonwovens–including 120,000 tons in Turkey and 40,000 tons in Egypt. Its most recent investments, a 35,000 Reicofil 5 spunmelt line, announced in 2017, came onstream in early 2020 in Corlu, Turkey, and a 3.2 meter meltblown line, the company’s first investment in this technology, in Gaziantep, Turkey.
