Germany-based nonwovens machinery manufacturer DiloGroup reports that the year 2012 was the most successful in its 110-year history.
Following the engineering of the 10,000th machine by Oskar Dilo Maschinenfabrik KG by the end of 2011, the group delivered several wide-working-width production lines for geotextiles applications. It also reported activity in other application areas including floor covering, automotive and filtration; and delivered fiber preparation and web-forming lines to be used in the production of hydroentangled nonwovens.
The group produced and shipped Di-Loom PMF lines weighing more than 900 metric tons, noting that the machines are the largest in the world.
