Autefa was pleased to welcome a high number of potential customers and industry experts in Mumbai with the target to share latest developments in Needlepunching, Spunlace and Airlay technology as well as retrofit solutions.
Alexander Stampfer, Regional Sales Director, Autefa Solutions explains: “Our overall goal is to be close to our customers to better understand their needs. As a full line supplier for carded- crosslapped needlepunch lines, spunlace lines and thermo-bonding lines we offer a wide product range for the nonwovens sector, including fiber preparation, carding, needling, thermo-bonding, hydro-entanglement, drying as well as end-of-line equipment. The customer today is more demanding and requires lowest possible Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).” The major nonwoven industry trends of high productivity paired with low maintenance cost and high flexibility for various nonwovens products increase the demand for top quality machines from Autefa Solutions.
In India geotextiles, automotive products, wipes, sanitary napkins and baby diapers have been showing promising growth rates. Typical applications of needle-punched nonwovens are artificial leather, automotive felts and carpets. Products for thermal and noise insulation are typical applications for the Airlay technology. Overall India’s nonwovens industry is entering into a rapid development stage with huge market potential ahead. Energy saving, higher machine availability and reduced maintenance cost are market requirements, which Autefa Solutions continuously aim to fulfil with innovative solutions. There is also an increasing product quality demand.
