MENANG rapidly resumes production with new ANDRITZ airlay line after major fire

Following the fire, MENANG immediately launched a recovery program and ordered a new airlay line from ANDRITZ at the end of March. Working closely with MENANG, ANDRITZ completed installation and commissioning of the line by mid-July through a compressed project schedule. By carrying out site reconstruction and equipment installation in parallel, MENANG accelerated the return to production and minimized the impact on its operations. 

William Wong, Group Director of MENANG, states: “Following the fire, our focus was on rebuilding quickly and ensuring continuity for our customers and partners. The strong collaboration between the MENANG and ANDRITZ teams played a key role in making this possible. We sincerely appreciate the commitment and responsiveness shown throughout the project and are pleased to be back in operation with our new airlay line.”

The newly installed ANDRITZ airlay line provides MENANG with modern and reliable nonwoven web- forming technology, supporting the company’s future growth and operational objectives in the automotive industry.
