Following an announcement late last year that it would exit its fiber and textiles businesses, Japanese nonwovens producer Unitka has reportedly sold its Japanese-based spunbond and spunlaced nonwovens operations in two separate operations.
 
Unitika’s Japanese polyester spunbond business, capable of making 10,000 tons of material per year, is being transferred to Seiren, whose main business is dyeing woven fabrics. Sieren, which is also engaged in a wide range of businesses, including the production of synthetic fibers and automotive interiors, reportedly plans to revitalize the business and develop chemical recycling at Unitka’s Okazaki Plant
 
Additionally, Unitika has sold its 7000-ton-per-year spunlace business to Cotex. Japanese hygiene machinery manufacturer Zuiko established Cotex in 2024 with a focus on developing and manufacturing cotton products for hygiene applications.
