Oerlikon Nonwoven: Laboratory nonwovens production expanded

摘要

Due to the high demand for processed materials in protective mask production, a laboratory system in Neumuenster/Germany by Oerlikon Manmade Fibers segment of Oerlikon Management AG, Pfaeffikon (SZVSwit-zerland, has been converted to manufacture nonwovens. The laboratory system at the R&D Center is normally used solely for research and development purposes as well as customer trials. Now the facility manufactures material for more than 1 million protective masks a month. With this, small local businesses and companies will be supported in their effort to manufacture face masks. Furthermore, Oerlikon Nonwoven has received a significant number of orders on the production of the machines and systems used for meltblown nonwovens. The company has signed orders in the mid-range double-digit millions. Delivery times have been adopted as much as possible. Oerlikon is intending to start delivering the additional orders for nonwovens systems in fall 2020.
