Mondi Gronau starts production of more than one million medical face masks per day in Germany
Mondi has started up new production lines for melt-blown nonwoven fabric and medical face masks at its site in Gronau, Germany to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Mondi Gronau has over 50 years of experience in the production and processing of films, nonwovens and elastic components for hygiene products. Last year Mondi announced it would start up production lines to produce both the important base material, melt-blown nonwoven fabric, as well as the medical face mask themselves. With the new lines, Mondi is building up a local value chain in Germany to address the needs of the pandemic. The fully integrated production with two highly automated high-speed machines allows the output of 700 high-quality medical face masks per minute. This is approximately seven times higher than the standard face mask production line and will produce at least one million medical grade masks a day. The masks are certified as a medical product by the German Johner Institute as well as meeting the German standards OEKO-TEX and Dermatest.
Ahlstrom inaugurates new parchmentizer at the Saint-Séverin plant, strengthening customer partnerships and local commitment
Ahlstrom inaugurated its new parchmentizer, PMZ5, today, May 21st, at its Saint-Séverin plant in France. A parchmentizer is an industrial machine used in the parchmentization process, which treats cellulose-based paper to transform it into durable, grease- and water-resistant vegetable parchment. This process gives the paper a unique set of characteristics that make it suitable for demanding applications, especially in the food packaging market. This latest EUR 15 million investment in Saint-Séverin underscores Ahlstrom’s enduring commitment to sustainable innovation, customer collaboration, and to the local community that has supported Ahlstrom for generations.
