These nonwovens are consumed internally and sold externally to customers in the medical space.
Recently, the Halyard portfolio expanded with the introduction of two Halyard brand AAMI Level 2 isolation gowns and a new version of its flagship AERO CHROME AAMI Level 4 gown as part of its growing gown portfolio.

In 2019, the company installed a tri-lamination line to produce composite laminates combining its nonwovens with other substrates such as films to make unique structures. The company also started up a Reicofil meltblown asset to produce meltblown media for wiper and HEPA applications. Additionally, to help better service its full customer base, the company upgraded asset capabilities to be more flexible to customer requirements, while investing in winding upgrades to enable supply on 3-inch and 6-inch core formats.
