Season's greetings and best wishes for a healthy new year!
Time for a recap
2025 was a year of steady progress for ANDRITZ Nonwoven & Textile, marked by both achievements and challenges in a dynamic global environment. The division continued to strengthen its position as a technology leader, focusing on sustainability, digitalization, and customer-centric solutions. Despite economic headwinds and regional uncertainties, ANDRITZ maintained a solid order backlog and delivered projects across hygiene, wipes, and durable nonwoven segments as well as textile recycling.
Opportunities and challenges
Opportunities emerged from the growing demand for eco-friendly products and circular solutions, which positioned ANDRITZ technologies as key enablers in wipes, hygiene, durable nonwovens and textile recycling. Regionalization of supply chains also created new prospects, as customers increasingly sought local production capabilities. In addition, lifecycle services and digital tools for predictive maintenance became important growth drivers, reinforcing customer relationships and ensuring operational stability.
However, the year was not without challenges. Economic and political uncertainty, trade restrictions, and inflationary pressures affected investment decisions in several regions. Global market volatility added complexity, with Asia showing ambitious activity while Europe faced slower growth and consolidation trends. Rising costs and competitive pricing continued to put pressure on margins, requiring constant efficiency improvements and innovation.
Looking Ahead
With a optimistic view, ANDRITZ Nonwoven & Textile enters 2026 poised for continued growth and innovation. The division remains dedicated to shaping the future of nonwovens and textiles through technology leadership and environmental responsibility.
A heartfelt thank you to our customers and partners: Your trust, collaboration, and shared vision have been the cornerstone of our success in 2025. Together, we will continue to drive innovation and sustainability forward in the coming year.
Our dearest season’s greetings and best wishes for a successful and prosperous 2026!
