Nordson Corporation announced that it has sold its Fiber Systems Group to Saurer Ltd's business unit, Neumag, which offers a wide range of turnkey systems for the production of nonwovens. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Based in Dawsonville, GA, the Fiber Systems Group manufactures systems used in the production of nonwoven fibers. Nordson acquired the business as part of its purchase of J & M Laboratories Inc. in 1998.
With Nordson's meltblown technologies, Neumag strengthens its position in spunbond and composite structures by integrating the spunbond technology and adding stand alone meltblown solutions.
“Exiting the fiber systems business will allow Nordson to better concentrate our activities on our other businesses within the Adhesive Dispensing segment, increase investments that will enhance our ability to better serve our customers on a global level and continue to add value for our shareholders,” said Edward P. Campbell, Nordson Corporation chairman and chief executive officer.
Nordson Fiber Systems improve productivity and quality in nonwovens fabric production using mono and bi-component meltblown, spunbond and SMS composite processes. Rolled goods manufactured with Nordson systems enhance the performance of hygiene, air and liquid filters, wipes, geotextiles and automotive products.
