Spuntech continues its focus on growth in specialty engineered and value-added spunlace fabrics with more emphasis on sustainable products.
In 2011, Spuntech secured several sizable contracts with large branded customers for products going into the automotive, personal care and home care disposable markets. This has allowed Spuntech to continue its organic growth and maximize capacities worldwide.
“We are proud of our accomplishment in making the U.S. operation a success over the past few years,” says John Rank, director of sales and marketing. “We are also proud of the additions to our capabilities in Israel that provides a more uniform and better performance product.”
Currently, Spuntech’s sales are split between North America, South America, Europe and Asia, where it serves wet and dry wipes, medical, technical, filtration and engineered fabrics markets. Spuntech continues to review opportunities in emerging markets to further its global expansion. Describing spunlace nonwovens as the fabric of choice for most of its customers, Rank reports that demand remained strong for high quality spunlace nonwovens throughout 2011. Spuntech lines run at maximum capacity globally.
