Founded in 1917, Ambic has been manufacturing felts for almost a century and nonwovens for nearly half a century under the name of Japan Felt Industrial Co., Ltd. In 2000, the company changed its name to Ambic Co. Ltd. Through the supply of these products, Ambic has been contributing to the improvement of people’s lives and the development of industries as a leading manufacturer in this field.
Based in Japan, Ambic’s factories are in Himeji city and Kakogawa city in Hyogo prefecture. Additionally, Ambic has responded to globalization and has been expanding its production bases and sales areas overseas.
The company launched its main brand, Himelon, in 1959. Today, there are three types of Himelon—chemical bond, needlepunch and press felt.
Himelon nonwovens comply with the RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) and the environmental restrictions of major automobile manufacturers. Additionally, the nonwovens have excellent functionality and exhibit their properties in every field.
Himelon is ideal for a wide range of fields. In audio devices, home appliance, automobile and office automation equipment it is used for various cushioning materials, dust-proofing and light-shielding.
In the automotive market, Himelon is used by most Japanese OEMs, according to the company. It is mainly featured in automotive interior parts to absorb vibration noise—NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and BSR (Buzz, Squeak and Rattle). Specifically, the material can be used for headliners, luggage compartment covers, steering, pillar trim, door trim, cushioning for consoles, etc. Ambic expects the usage of nonwoven materials to increase along with the transition from gas vehicles to hybrid vehicles to plug-in hybrid vehicles to battery electric vehicles as a countermeasure to noise inside the cabin.
In addition to the automotive sector, Ambic supplies Himelon to the home appliance sector, where it is used for noise reduction in televisions.
Over the years the company has worked to increase the sustainability of its materials. The SP series, which is currently available, is a material composed of wool and rayon and is a biodegradable material. Currently under development is the SN series, which is a black needlepunch felt with bio 30% PET. Also under development is an ocean biodegradable nonwoven.
Currently, Ambic is supplying nonwovens to China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and others, and the company plans to expand its business by setting up stock points in the U.S. (Roscoe, IL) and Thailand.
Ambic executives say it is a good time to be in the nonwovens industry and looking ahead, they believe demand will continue to increase.
