The investment includes upgrading the current impregnation line as well as introducing a second, doubling output capacity. Nonwovenn is also expanding its team to introduce a wider range of technically advanced respiratory protection and air and liquid filtration solutions.
Alongside this, Nonwovenn is also advancing its coalescer filtration technology, which separates liquids from other liquids or gasses, for example in compressed air systems to remove oil droplets and fine particles. With strong partnerships already in place, Nonwovenn is looking to double sales over the next 12–18 months.
In addition, the business is also advancing its acoustic solutions for ceiling / wall panels and automotive, which is a new product offering.
This next phase of targeted investment follows an extensive £13 million business-wide transformation programme which has included significant self-funded capex investment in manufacturing, plant and equipment. It also involved an end-to-end operational efficiency programme and an enhancement in R&D and innovation capability, to enable the servicing of growing order volumes.
Fabrizio Tiribilli, Industrial business director at Nonwovenn, said: “InduTech is a key growth area for Nonwovenn. Our investments in filtration and acoustics reflect commitment to innovation and technical excellence. By increasing capacity, efficiency, and driving forward product development, we’re adapting to the needs of our customers in this growing market.”
Nonwovenn chairman David Lamb added: “The latest phase of investment is another step towards our goal of becoming the market leader across our four market vehicles. The outlook in the industrial sector is incredibly promising, and we’re excited to see what happens next.”
