Saudi Germany Company for Nonwoven Products (SGN) is exhibiting Sofina, a new brand embodying innovation and luxury in spunbond nonwovens, powered by its latest Reicofil 5 Technology and proprietary innovations.
Sofina derives its name from the combination of “soft” and “ina,” evoking a sense of luxury and gentleness. It represents a significant leap forward in SGN’s evolution, aiming to redefine standards in softness, elegance and sophistication.
Sofina is strategically segmented into three tiers to cater to diverse market needs:
• Sofina Essence: Premium materials that epitomize the essential qualities of SGN nonwovens, offering unparalleled quality and superior softness for the premium market segment.
• Sofina: Stepping into the luxury segment, these materials enhance the softness, bulk, and tactile feel, catering to markets where luxurious comfort is paramount.
• Sofina Royale: The pinnacle of opulence, offering unmatched levels of softness and bulk. Sofina Royale is designed for customers who demand the very best in nonwoven materials.
Based on extensive market research, Sofina responds to the evolving consumer preferences for premium and luxury segments within the diaper market. It aligns with SGN’s core principles of quality, customer engagement, agility and supply chain excellence.
Sofina will initially focus on the North American and European markets, leveraging SGN’s robust distribution networks in these regions to ensure widespread availability and accessibility.
In other news, the company has successfully completed the SEDES SMETA 4-Pillar Audit. The SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is one of the most widely recognized social auditing methodologies worldwide. Its purpose is to evaluate how responsibly companies operate across four key areas — Labor Standards, Health & Safety, Environment, and Business Ethics. By achieving a strong performance across all four pillars, SGN demonstrates that our business practices meet international benchmarks for fairness, transparency, and sustainability.
Completing the SMETA 4-Pillar audit is not only a certification milestone — it is a reflection of SGN’s belief that sustainability begins with accountability. The audit provides an independent, globally recognized verification that our operations respect workers’ rights, uphold high safety standards, minimize environmental impact, and ensure ethical conduct throughout our supply chain.
This accomplishment directly supports our contribution to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, reinforcing national goals for sustainable industrial growth and global competitiveness.
SMETA compliance marks an important starting point in SGN’s long term sustainability roadmap. The insights gained from the audit guide our future initiatives, from improving resource efficiency to enhancing worker engagement and governance systems. It also strengthens the trust that customers and partners place in SGN as a transparent, responsible manufacturer.
As the first and largest spunbond manufacturer in the Middle East, SGN continues to set industry standards through technology, innovation, and ethics. Our Reicofil 5 line (commissioned May 2025) represents not just a step forward in performance, but also in environmental efficiency — enabling us to deliver advanced nonwoven solutions that serve both people and the planet.
Clearing the SEDEX SMETA 4-Pillar audit is a meaningful validation of how we operate today — and a commitment to do even better tomorrow. SGN will continue building on this achievement through ongoing sustainability programs, responsible sourcing, and open collaboration with our partners worldwide.
