How to Use this International Buyers’ Guide:

In its 52nd edition, our annual Buyers’ Guide lists nearly every supplier and producer involved with the global nonwovens industry. Readers have access, in one comprehensive issue, to information on suppliers of machinery and equipment, raw materials, components and roll goods as well as contract service specialists, consulting services and associations. The listings include contact addresses, phone numbers and website addresses.

• Section I lists suppliers of Machinery and Equipment for the manufacture of nonwovens; company listings are complemented by cross references, which follow the listings.

• Section II includes producers of nonwoven Roll Goods. At the end of the alphabetical list, a cross reference section is organized by technology.

• Section III lists suppliers of Raw Materials. A cross reference section detailing the products offered by these companies follows.

• Section IV contains a list of Contract Service providers that deal specifically with the nonwovens industry. A cross reference section organized by technology follows.

• Section V includes producers of nonwoven Components. At the end of the alphabetical list, a cross reference section is organized by technology.

• Section VI includes key Consultants in the nonwovens industry.

• Section VII provides information on Trade Associations involved with the industry around the world.

All companies are listed in alphabetical order in the section in which they appear. Some may be listed in more than one section because of overlapping capabilities. Information contained in each section varies according to the requirements of that segment of the industry. See page 29 for an alphabetical index of corresponding page numbers for all five cross reference sections.
