Nonwovens sales were reported at $184 million amid new investments for Hassan Group across its wide range of technologies.
Most recently, the company’s Siteks company announced it would add a needlepunch line in Turkey. With this investment, Siteks will significantly expand its production capacity to meet the international demand for needlepunched insulation products in the automotive and construction sectors. The line is scheduled to start up in the first quarter of 2025.
The Andritz-supplied needlepunch eXcelle line can process different types of fibers, including natural fibers, and is specifically designed to meet the customer’s requirements in terms of productivity, quality and sustainability. It is the second line Andritz has supplied to Siteks.
Oguz Sisman, CEO of Siteks, comments, “The new line will not only increase our production of high-quality materials, but also meet our goal of offering more environmentally friendly products through the use of recycled fibers and natural fibers.”
Meanwhile, the group’s air through bonding technology was enhanced through the start-up of a new investment at Merkas—the group’s hygiene-focused company—in Istanbul, Turkey.
