The forecast list of "global nonwovens list" in 2018 has been released. The ranking of the top 10 enterprises has changed little. Berri international, science and technology and Kimberly have won one or two or three respectively.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the business actions of the enterprises in the forecast list in 2018, it is easy to see that M & A has become the most effective and convenient way of expansion for all non-woven enterprises, and more than half of the companies are launching or planning to start the new production line, showing the infinite vitality of the whole ball nonwoven market.

In addition, according to the 2019 global business layout released by enterprises, thanks to the continuous application of Nonwovens in new fields and the healthy development of the original application market, nonwoven enterprises have been optimistic about the industry market. It is estimated that sales and profits can continue to grow in 2019 and the next few years.

At the beginning of this year, the world's second largest nonwovens manufacturer, Germany limited, signed an agreement with Apollo exhibition technology (Hongkong) Co., Ltd. to form a joint venture company on the basis of the original Shunde Shunde environmental protection equipment Co., Ltd.

"The alliance of the two companies will strengthen and consolidate their market position and provide a wider range of innovative solutions for air and water filtration for Chinese consumers," said chief executive of the company.

Apollo has first-class production and technical capabilities, and he has a good market network. This cooperation can further improve the overall solution of both sides in the field of indoor air filtration and water filtration.

At present, the changing international economic situation and the pattern of capital flow have created an excellent opportunity for mergers and acquisitions of large enterprises.

A number of key enterprises in the global nonwovens industry successfully completed the M & A in 2018, which shows that in the era of economic globalization, the scale of industry has become an important parameter to consider the capabilities of enterprises, especially in high-tech industries and service industries that are rapidly changing and driven by innovation. Only when enterprises reach a certain scale can they achieve economies of scale.

In May 2018, R2G fund group, parent company of Czech Pegas nonwoven material group, acquired First Quality Nonwovens (FQN) company, which will increase the scale and global influence of its nonwoven business.

R2G hopes to expand its position in the one-time health market by acquiring FQN.

"We are very confident in the nonwovens business," said Michae Smrek, chief executive of R2G. "This acquisition will enable the group to provide global services to customers across four continents.

After the acquisition, the company has the most advanced production facilities and professional technology to further protect customers from the quality products we provide. "

In July 2018, Thailand Indorama venture company acquired 65.72% stake in Israel Avgol group.

Fitesa Group executives said the acquisition of CNC group is an important move for the company to enter the global spunbonded nonwovens and sanitary products production area. Fitesa completed its first Asian textile business through the acquisition of CNC.

With regard to the current situation of non-woven enterprises' continuous acquisitions, experts in the industry think that the reason why large international enterprises are keen on mergers and acquisitions, excluding their internal driving forces, is actually a new integration of market resources and market structure.

It has become an inevitable trend of market development through integration adjustment to promote the development of technology and economy in a certain field and improve the efficiency of resource allocation.

Capital investment is another hot topic in the nonwovens industry.

In fact, in recent years, new production lines representing various kinds of nonwovens have appeared all over the world.

The extensive investment behavior of enterprises shows that all non-woven market is growing.

Through the new production line, the annual output of the factory's nonwovens increased by about 11 thousand metric tons.

"The expansion of capacity highlights the company's long-term commitment to the Asian market.

We hope to continue to provide innovative and sustainable solutions for customers in the automotive and carpet market to help them grow. "

Dr. Frank Heislitz, chief executive officer of high tech materials group, said.

Kimberly group produces nonwovens not only for its own consumer products, but also for customers from all over the world.

Kimberly Group invested $30 million in early 2018 to expand its nonwovens production plant in North Carolina.

The plant's nonwovens materials are mainly used for Kimberly's adult incontinence and women's health products brand, which is an important move for Kimberly to restructure the global market.

Finland Suominen group, the world's largest wiping material producer, is also actively expanding its production capacity by providing a variety of wipes technology solutions.

The company's latest investment is to build a large Spunlace production line in the US, and invest in the existing Spunlaced production line to install a new type of carding machinery that represents its latest technology to meet the business growth needs of Suominen group in the market of the wipes and other fields.

At the same time, the company upgraded production lines to existing factories in Green Bay, Wisconsin and Brazil and Spain to expand its business to new market areas.

With the increase of global customer demand, Oslo Ming Ke will continue to develop its filtering business.

In 2018, the company invested about 28 million euros to expand its production capacity and product performance in the field of filtration and high-performance materials business. The project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2020.

This investment is the main measure for the company to improve its leading position in the specific field of the global fiber material solution market.

Whether through acquisitions or capital investment, business activities of all enterprises indicate that manufacturers are optimistic about the future of the nonwovens industry.

There are good reasons behind their confidence: with the existing application market attracting more and more consumers, and the new application areas are constantly emerging, the nonwovens market is continuing to grow at a global level.

In 2019, Codbo will continue to take measures to deal with the changing market environment and customer needs through flexible operation.

Codbo is also working hard to strengthen the company's medical business. The group is developing innovative products for the treatment of cancer, diabetes and chronic wounds, such as biodegradable wound dressings.

Although there was no significant investment in new technology in Europe in 2019, it would improve its original technology portfolio and eliminate some relatively backward production lines.

From April 2019, the company will conduct in-depth research on the Asian market in view of the market situation of air filtration materials, and hope to enter the Asian market quickly through the acquisition of needle manufacturing enterprises or joint ventures to establish subsidiaries.

Industry analysts believe that in 2019, the trend of M & A and investment in the International Nonwovens market will continue, on the one hand, because of the demand for heating and heating in the cold winter. On the other hand, it is also a reflection of the continuous development of the market driven by the capital behind.
