Germany's nonwovens firm, Sandler AG, has opened a new production building and nonwovens line worth €43 million in Schwarzenbach, Germany.

The new plant is around 150 metres long, with a loading terminal of 37.5 metres and is Sandler's largest production building. The nonwovens manufacturer invested €17 million in the building located at the South-East perimeter of the company premises. Since May, nonwovens for hygiene products are being manufactured on the new production line at the ground floor. The hybrid technology applied represents a new generation of nonwoven technology. Sandler invested another €26 million in this expansion of production capacity. On the upper level, 10,500 square metres of warehousing space is reserved for finished roll goods, and 2,600 square metres for commissioning and loading area as well as office space.

President and CEO of the company, Christian Heinrich, said, “The new production and warehouse building was completed, having taken only a little over a year's time to be built. While the building itself was still under construction, assembling of the new production line started in December 2015. We succeeded in tapping into new, interesting areas of application and in introducing new products to the market. This development required a new production line, a new building for it to be placed in and additional warehousing space for its finished goods.” (GK)
