Klewel was mandated by Geneva Palexpo for this event.
Packaging applications of nonwovens have been “slow burn”. After many years of solid, but slow growth this sector is blossoming and now accounts for almost 3% of all nonwovens applications. In addition the market has shown excellent growth in the last few years.
The sector is characterised by a very broad range of applications with technology and innovation key success factors. This workshop aims to open up this growth area and should appeal to packaging end-users and specifiers plus nonwoven manufacturers and converters and raw material producers.
This Workshop was led by Dr. George Kellie.
