In between the major exhibitions this year, there will be a series of symposia and conferences at which ANDRITZ will give presentations on the latest developments in the nonwovens industry. In this issue, we have compiled a review for you of three important conferences held this year. You can also read about the latest successes in the production of glass fiber products, and we will look ahead to SINCE 2019 in Shanghai as well as taking a closer look at the new roll sleeve for textile calenders, the Racoflex Plus, a patented product that demonstrates its unique properties in the production of technical textiles. You will also read about the latest successes in needlepunch technology, we will provide an insight into the production of geotextiles by our customer Manifattura Fontana in a video, and we also have an interesting interview with ANDRITZ Sales Director Jean-Philippe Dumon about the opportunities and versatility in the production of velour materials.
