International technology group ANDRITZ has supplied and commissioned
a neXline airlay system at the Carolina Nonwovens plant in Ohio. This marks the first installation of the
new generation airlay line in the United States.

The state-of-the-art system processes recycled fibers into nonwovens for automotive and industrial
sectors, helping to reduce waste and enhance resource efficiency.
Designed for ease of use and maintenance, ANDRITZ’s advanced equipment maximizes operational
efficiency and reliability. With this new investment, Carolina Nonwovens strengthens its ability to
produce high-quality nonwovens from industrial and post-consumer waste, in line with its commitment
to sustainability and the circular economy. The company already operates an ANDRITZ airlay line at
its plant in North Carolina.
“It was a pleasure to work with the ANDRITZ experts again. Thanks to their support, our team
benefited from efficient training, enabling us to significantly enhance our capabilities,” says Ed Hull,
COO of Carolina Nonwovens.
