PGI is building an expansion at its plant in Zona Industrial del Potosi that will house the new Reifenhauser REICOFIL 4 line. In addition to serving customers in Mexico and the U.S., it also is a gateway for PGI to supply its products to Central America and the Caribbean. The new line is expected to begin production by mid-2009.
The line will feature the latest technology and produce high-quality, lightweight, strong fabrics that are used in fine denier back sheet, leg cuffs and materials that go into other parts of diapers, as well as fabrics that provide high-barrier protection and comfort for medical garments.
The plant began operations in 1989 as Bonlam S.A., a subsidiary of Cydsa S.A. de C.V. Since PGI purchased the plant in 1994, the company has made several expansions and major investments at the facility, more than quadrupling overall employment.
Polymer Group, Inc., one of the world's leading producers of nonwovens, is a global, technology-driven developer, producer and marketer of engineered materials. With the broadest range of process technologies in the nonwovens industry, PGI is a global supplier to leading consumer and industrial product manufacturers.
