Abstract:
 Producers of nonwoven roll goods ranking 31st-40th among the world’s leading companies have a combined turnover of US$726 mn, or 5% of the global total. Individually, their sales range from only US$60 mn to US$87 mn. But in spite of their small size, they play a major role in shaping the global business. These producers include long established players as well as new ones. Andrew Industries, a new entrant to the top 40, traces its origins back to 1894. By contrast, Jacob Holm Industries was formed in 1995, and Toray Saehan as recently as 1999.

The nonwovens industry is becoming more international. Toray Saehan is a South Korean joint venture, Pegas Nonwovens is Czech, and Companhia Providкncia is Brazilian. Internationalisation by existing players, meanwhile, is driving industry growth. Denmark’s Jacob Holm plans to start up a new US$40 mn spunlaced line in the USA in June 2005. Germany’s Textilgruppe Hof is stepping up its exports to meet rising demand in Eastern Europe. Unitika is expanding its polyester spunbond capacity at Thai Tusco in Thailand. And the UK’s Andrew Industries is building a facility in China.

Other drivers of growth are new technologies and product markets. SP2C and Easy Care interlining products from Textilgruppe Hof have coatings to enhance performance in fashion fabrics. Precision Custom Coatings has diversified into OmniStretch hydroentangled liners for the automotive market. Kuraray has commercialised nonwovens made from Vectran, which uses liquid crystal polymer technology.

Some of the companies mentioned include:

Jacob Holm Industries, Denmark
Textilgruppe Hof, Germany
BP Amoco
Unitika
Pegas Nonwovens, Czech Republic
Andrew Industries
Kuraray, Japan
Toray Saehan
Precision Custom Coatings (PCC), USA
