Suominen, a global supplier of nonwovens and flexible packaging, has launched a new range of nonwoven materials for use in tabletop applications in the hotel, restaurant and catering (HoReCa) markets globally.

 

The Novolino nonwoven range of substrates, featuring a number of unique attributes, has already seen commercial success in both Europe and the Americas. The launch is in line with Suominen’s stated strategic objective of increasing the share of value added products in its portfolio. 

 

Novolino nonwoven products in tabletop usage represent Suominen’s expansion of its nonwoven business beyond wipes, where Suominen is the global leader.

 

Speaking of the product launch, Eileen Calder, Product Manager for Travel and Catering, said “Novolino nonwovens bring a new dimension to the tabletop market whilst adding value beyond the traditional offerings in this segment.

 

With its soft and silky touch, Novolino nonwovens offer users a disposable alternative to traditional linen or other textile napkins, table covers or guest towels.”
