Andritz to supply needlepunch line to Siteks, Turkiye

With this investment, Siteks will significantly expand its production capacity to meet the international demand for needlepunched nonwoven insulation products in the automotive and construction sectors. The line is scheduled to start up in the first quarter of 2025. This is the second line that Siteks has purchased from Andritz.

The Andritz needlepunch eXcelle line for Siteks can process different types of fibres, including natural fibres, and is specifically designed to meet the customer’s requirements in terms of productivity, quality, and sustainability, the company said in a press release.

“The new line will not only increase our production of high-quality materials, but also meets our goal of offering more environmentally friendly products through the use of recycled fibres and natural fibres,” Oguz Sisman, CEO of Siteks, said.
