March 03, 2015 - Germany
Nonwovens producer for the hygiene, filter media, and insulation industries, Sandler AG said it posted a record turnover of €285 million in 2014, also its 135th anniversary.
Sandler manufactured approximately 101,750 tons of nonwovens and also recorded high level of capacity utilisation in its production and partly reached capacity limits.
Sandler also said that it achieved very good results in all market segments; from nonwovens for hygiene products, to technical applications, through to nonwovens for home textiles and office acoustics.
In 2014, Sandler put particular emphasis on innovation for sound insulation in offices and industrial buildings, which it develops in partnership with office furnishings producers and acoustics experts.
For walls and roofs, Sandler offers 100 per cent polyester insulation nonwovens from the fibercomfort product line, which provides low thermal conductivity and excellent heat and sound insulators.
In January 2015, Sandler received the German building inspectorate approval for major product groups for these applications.
“Being a supplier to the biggest manufacturers worldwide, Sandler also continues to advance the market for hygiene products with soft yet absorbent or elastic products.
Elastic nonwovens for closure systems such as diaper ears ensure the ideal fit of the diaper, adjusting to any movement without wearing out.
According to Sandler, with regard to technical products, efficient synthetic filter media that contribute to indoor air quality were in high demand, as were acoustically efficient nonwovens for the automotive industry.
“It is difficult to say what 2015 will hold for Sandler and just as research institutes find it increasingly harder to make reliable forecasts, this is not an easy task for companies either”, says CEO Christian Sandler.
He added, “However, our outlook on the future is optimistic and we will be developing new technologies at our Schwarzenbach location and expand our international business activities.”
In 2014, Sandler started construction of a new office building in Schwarzenbach and will be investing approximately €5 million.
The new building will comprise of four storey’s offering a total area of 1,600 square meters and will provide new workplaces for its team. (AR)
