Global nonwovens association, EDANA said it has launched its Statistics app for both, the Andriod and Apple platforms.

Available only to member companies and their employees, it provides updates on the main trends in the nonwovens industry.

“Indicators in the feedstock, raw materials and end-use markets are analysed within the macroeconomic context,” EDANA said in a press release.

“This new business tool aims to help members to follow market trends throughout the whole supply chain,” said Jacques Prigneaux, market analysis and economic affairs director.

He added, “It includes yearly, quarterly and monthly information and the list of topics will be revised according to the available figures and members’ needs.”

In addition, EDANA has launched an additional website for mobile users which enables access to all the features of the EDANA website.

“The mobile site offers information that member companies have told us is most important to them when either travelling, or visiting their corporate partners.” said Abby Bailey, marketing and communications director.

She too added, “Being able to search the entire membership list by product, application, technology or location was the most popular request.”

“This is followed by information and access to the details of upcoming activities, and a way to quickly reach the EDANA staff member, provides our members with the support they need,” she noted.

“Both the Statistics app and the mobile website show an evolution in EDANA services.” said Pierre Wiertz, general manager of EDANA.

“Our focus is to provide the support and expertise that our member companies most value, while continuing to find new ways to deliver the information to those companies and their individual employees,” he observed. (AR)
