Avgol to showcase technological innovations at INDEX20
March 02, 2020 - Israel
Avgol, leader in manufacturing high-performance non-woven fabric solutions, will showcase new customer-led technological innovations at INDEX20, a leading industry exhibition which highlights innovations in the field of non-woven materials and services. Technologies that enable eco-friendly processes and materials will be at focus of the company.
The exhibition is to be held during October 20-23 in Geneva.
The previous INDEX event in 2017 was attended by about 13,000 visitors from over 100 countries. Reflecting the widespread growth and versatility of nonwoven materials, INDEX attracts representatives and delegates from sectors such as hygiene, geotextiles, automotive, health and medical, geotextiles and packaging.
In view of increasing demands for sustainability, Avgol will showcase technologies that enable eco-friendly processes and materials to run the full gamut of manufacturing, from initial design stage to completion.
One breakthrough innovation on display will be Avgol natureFIT, a new platform of technologies which involves replacing a number of traditionally synthetic components with naturally-derived alternatives and using a specially designed mineral-based filler in place of resin content. This bestows cotton-like qualities into the material.
There will also be a display on beneFIT Care, a suite of value-added processes which enhance the consumer experience through natural additives that improve on friction reduction, skin wellness from moisture exposure, and prolonged article contact.
Tommi Björnman, chief commercial officer at Avgol, commented: "We're delighted to exhibit at INDEX once again. The scope of non-woven materials in today's world is so vast that it's a great opportunity to bring turnkey sectors together and demonstrate the incredible innovations that are set to disrupt established markets.”
"Our uniquely consumer-led approach to research and development has enabled us to drive new exciting technologies through not only our core markets of hygiene, automotive and medical applications, but to the wider industries that rely on non-woven fabrics every day. NatureFIT and beneFIT care are two great examples of how Avgol is helping product designers to add value, flexibility and sustainability into new designs without sacrificing performance," Björnman said.
