Technical Textiles

Global markets for sheet goods such as nonwovens, paper and textile are undergoing fundamental change. There are a variety of applications, e.g. filtration, construction, hygiene or packaging, which can compensate for more difficult conditions in the apparel and footwear sectors.

We help our clients to establish strategic differentiation in these segments, provide concepts to expand their market position and accompany them during implementation.
