Austrian technology group Andritz will supply a new batt forming line for stitchbonding to Romatex, a company that specialises in Maliwatt stitchbonding in Africa. The line will be dedicated to the production of Maliwatt products used in a wide range of applications, including home textiles. This will be the third line supplied by Andritz to Romatex in four years.

The start-up is scheduled for the fourth quarter of the year 2022.

Andritz will deliver dedicated batt forming equipment, mixing an aXcess card and an eXcelle crosslapper to achieve the technical characteristics Romatex requires in terms of product quality and line performance. This new stitchbonding line will enable Romatex to better serve the growing customer requirements in terms of the availability of high-quality products.

“We bought our first line from Andritz in 2017, then another one in 2019. We have been very satisfied with the close collaboration between our companies, the flexibility and reliability of the machines, as well as the excellent service from Andritz over all these years. The experience has been uncomplicated. This has given us the confidence to consider Andritz for further investment,” Helmut Hock, general manager of operations at Romatex, said in a media release.
