Avgol invests in new Reicofil 5 nonwovens production line in the United States

Avgol (part of Indorama Ventures) will add a state-of-the-art high-speed Reicofil 5 nonwovens production line at its Mocksville, North Carolina, USA facility. This will be the sixth production line at the plant (acquired in 2001). The line will produce two-component and high-volume products, and produce materials to meet the needs of high-end sanitary products.

As part of the investment, Avgol will also expand its melt-blown nonwovens production capacity, ensuring a continuous supply of this critical material for customers in the region and globally.

Tommi Bjornman, CEO of Avgol, said: "Investing in the new line will expand our capacity, provide more 'Made in the USA' materials and provide more sustainable materials for the growing North American market, as well as around the world. The new line also gives Mocksville the ability to supply additional melt-blown nonwovens, ensuring we have additional capacity to meet market demand."

Avgol's most recent investment in the United States occurred in 2015, when the company added its fifth spunmelt nonwovens production line in North Carolina. Avgol also has operations in Russia, China, Israel and India.
