Yanpai expands nonwovens capacity with two new ANDRITZ needlepunch lines

These two lines are specially designed for the efficient processing of high-end nonwovens. They will increase Yanpai’s nonwovens production capacity and support the company’s entry into new applications.

The scope of supply includes ANDRITZ’s double-doser opening system, a card, and a crosslapper with an integrated ProWid™ system for optimized web weight evenness. The compact layout maximizes output per square meter and fits seamlessly into Yanpai’s existing needlepunch workshop.

This order further strengthens Yanpai’s partnership with ANDRITZ. The company has operated eight ANDRITZ needlepunch lines since 2019.

“Installing two additional lines from ANDRITZ underscores our confidence in its technology and service,” said Chen Ping, Vice-Chairman of Yanpai. “They will support our expansion into new industrial segments and help us ensure stable quality.”

The value of the order will not be disclosed. It is included in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the third quarter of 2025. 

Guillaume Julien, Global Sales Director Engineered Textiles at ANDRITZ, commented: “We are proud to support Yanpai’s rapid growth. A repeat order is a strong confirmation that our technology delivers both high quality and a fast ROI for Yanpai.”
