What has started decades ago under the term needle felt has developed into a flexible high-tech web material that is the basis for many textile applications. The often razor-thin webs are produced on so-called roller cards, and thus already geared towards their future use. Erko Trützschler is the specialist for development and production of web forming equipment and other machines for the production of nonwovens within the World of Trützschler.

Fleissner specialises in the bonding and finishing of nonwoven fabrics. The company develops and produces systems in the area of nonwovens, man-made fibers and carpet/textiles. The range of application of so-called nonwovens is almost unlimited: These nonwoven web materials are used, among other things, in hygiene products and clothing, but also in the food sector in form of tea bags, or in the automotive industry as noise-absorbent mats.
