Adding value and saving costs for nonwovens manufacturers

摘要

Founded in 1884, Omya has grown to be a global producer of industrial minerals, principally modifiers and pigments based on calcium carbonate and dolomite, an anhydrous form of calcium magnesium carbonate. Our 8000 employees are distributed in 175 locations spread across more than 50 countries and serve a variety of markets, notably technical polymers (including fibres and nonwovens), construction, printing, packaging, food, personal and home care, pharma-ceuticals, agriculture, forestry, water and energy. Each of these demanding applications requires the use of a calcium carbonate with different specifications and a key to our success has been to take account of the needs of the entire supply chain while developing a tailored product. The development teams therefore address the needs of raw-material suppliers, formulators, compounders, convertors and end-users for each nonwoven innovation.
