HIK-91 has started the production of high-performance nonwovens with the purchase of a new Farè spunbond line in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

The spunbond line uses polyolefin as a raw material for the production of a wide variety of products thanks to the technological solutions implemented by Farè.

HIK-91 says this is the first step of a growth strategy for innovative nonwovens in its market areas.

It chose Farè as a partner for this new industrial investment after careful consideration of the spunbond processes available. It concluded that the high performance of premium products, the energy saving and the flexibility of the line to produce different webs are ‘key winning factors’ of Farè technology.

Farè will supply to HIK-91 equipment for the production of spunbond from light-to-medium weight webs, covering nonwovens from hygiene to agriculture to industrial applications.

This will reportedly allow HIK-91 to secure a leading position in high-demanding markets thanks to its innovative solutions.

The line will start production in the first quarter of 2020.
