| What do filtration customers want? Clean air. Clean water. How can roll goods producers meet those requirements? Through increased performance, technological innovation and improved cost efficiencies. This may sound straight-forward, but nonwoven fabrics manufacturers in the filtration market are being challenged to offer cutting-edge technology for air, gas and liquid filtration applications while keeping costs down (in a world where costs keep going up). This may be a tall order, but it hasn't slowed activity in the filtration sector; in fact, more roll goods producers are entering this arena and bumping competition up to new heights.
Having more players in the game has meant two things: filter makers have more alternatives and filtration customers are demanding more from suppliers. Confirming an overall increase in strategic focus from the nonwoven fabrics supplier base was Christine Murray, director of filtration at PGI. nonwoven fabrics manufacturers recognize the rapid dynamics occurring and recognize significant opportunities.
