About Textiles Intelligence

Worldwide sales of nonwoven roll goods continued to grow at mid-single digit rates in 2007 to almost US$17 bn. Sales of the world’s leading ten companies ranged from US$250 mn to US$1.45 bn and totalled about US$8.9 bn. All except Fiberweb and DuPont increased their sales. Freudenberg remained the number one player, although poor economic conditions have forced the company to close operations serving the automotive market and improve efficiencies at others. In 2008 it launched a new product range in the USA made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) polymer obtained from polyester (PET) bottles, and has plans to develop its Evolon microfilament spunlaced fabric.
