Sandler will open a plant in Perry, Houston County, Georgia in 2016, having successfully served the North American market from its Schwarzenbach headquarters in Bavaria.
“Establishing a new nonwovens manufacturing plant in the US is an important decision from a strategic point of view and one of the most important steps in our company history,” said Sandler CEO Dr Christian Heinrich Sandler. “Establishing a presence in Perry will allow us to answer to the increasing importance of the North American markets and to account for the growing demand from outside Europe. Many of our clients are themselves global players, working on either side of the Atlantic."
