ANDRITZ and Suominene are working together to produce innovative nonwoven products for the past few years. Suominen is a global manufacturer of innovative and sustainable nonwovens, and ANDRITZ is known as an International technology Group.
Suominen Corporation is a Finnish company that makes nonwovens for wiping and hygiene products for healthcare applications. Suominen is the global market leader in nonwovens for wipes and one of the world’s biggest nonwovens manufacturers. Suominen has upgraded several machines and lines to a higher performance level and decided to retrofit some of its existing spunlace lines in collaboration with ANDRITZ. This enables Suominen to maintain its excellent product performance and the highest product quality in the ever more demanding nonwovens market.
Most recently, Suominen and ANDRITZ signed a service agreement for Metris Remote Assistance, which allows the Suominen equipment operators to have full online support from the ANDRITZ process experts. ANDRITZ has developed a spunlace line and recently supplied a Wetlaceâ„¢ line to produce high-quality products such as flushable wipes, baby wipes, personal care, and household wipes, supporting Suominen in reaching its goal to be the frontrunner in nonwovens innovation and sustainability.
Petri Helsky, President and CEO of Suominen, said, “ANDRITZ has been supporting us for years with our developments, allowing us to offer our customers some of the most competitive and highest quality products in the world. ANDRITZ also provides Suominen with the first-class service, which enables us to produce sustainable nonwovens for our customers.”
