“We believe that step change innovations in diaper design and cost reduction will result from this joint effort,” Blackadar added.
“We look forward to collaborating with Aurizon and discovering the potential synergy between our new fibre innovations and Aurizon's high speed rotary ultrasonic bonding technology,” Blackadar noted.
“We are thrilled to join efforts with Invitsa to further advance next generation stretch materials for the hygiene market,” Greg Benrud, president at Aurizon said.
