US-based nonwovens manufacturer Polymer Group Inc. (PGI) said it has expanded its Spinlace production capacity by adding one more line at its North Carolina facility.

The new Spinlace line, the second such line at the plant, adds more than 300 million square meters of manufacturing capacity to the plant capacity and is expected to start commercial production in late third quarter of 2014, PGI said.

"The specialty materials industry is highly competitive, and PGI continues to lead the market through an unparalleled combination of innovation and quality," said CEO Joel Hackney.

"Whether they serve consumer or industrial users, our customers know to expect the best quality nonwovens developed with the most advanced technology available", he added.

The Spinlace technology utilizes a highly efficient process that incorporates almost limitless material inputs, including pulp, with high-speed hydroentanglement.

Additionally, the process uses PGI's proprietary Apex technology to impart customizable three-dimensional images directly into the fabric to impart both functional and aesthetic attributes.

This process results in stronger and higher performing materials at typically lower weights, with a better value proposition than traditional manufacturing methods.

PGI operates from 24 locations in 14 countries and has around 5,000 employees on its rolls and serves the home and personal care wipes, commercial wipes, hygiene and healthcare segments. (AR)
