Hygiene and medical markets

‘Nonwoven Market Opportunities: Hygiene and Beyond’ is the headline title of the event. The Symposium will cover regional market and technical trends in the Asia-Pacific region, challenges and opportunities on doing business in China, as well as the market potential for nonwovens to be used in hygiene and other high-growth applications.

Dave Rousse, INDA’s President, said: “China is a large supplier of nonwovens with a promising domestic market for the many products made from nonwoven fabrics. INDA is pleased to co-sponsor this event, with our alliance partner CNITA, as it provides an opportunity for our members and the industry to learn more about the key market drivers and new technological developments that are occurring in this dynamic region.”
