Future power
Global investments in renewable energies are steadily growing and research and development will play a central role when it comes to expanding the use of such technologies. |
Sustainable case for local manufacturing

$20 billion market for Donaldson
With record sales approaching $2.5 billion in 2012 and filter media accounting for 15-20% of its raw materials costs, Donaldson, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, is a pretty significant user of nonwovens. |
Exploiting energy at Sandler
For the sixth consecutive year, Sandler succeeded in increasing its sales to €247 million in 2012, up from €240 million in 2011. A programme of continuous investment in what is now the largest nonwovens plant in Europe at Schwarzenbach/Saale in Germany has seen staff rise to 570 and in the last five years the company has invested €60 million in new manufacturing lines. |
Dropping in anytime soon...
