Basis for innovative modernity

THE CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

At ALTEX, all nonwovens go through the same manufacturing process, which gives us a wide range of design options to develop products with a wide range of unique technical properties. This gives each end product its own individual touch. The composition of our nonwovens is based on the specific requirements of our customers. As soon as the future application and the technical profile have been defined, the creative process of development and production planning begins at ALTEX. Our many years of expertise and advanced production technology guarantee precise and rapid realization of the desired technical properties.

Specific selection of raw materials

As the raw materials are delivered in bales, they are put together precisely in accordance with the product specification. Good to know: Sustainability is not only a goal for us, but also a practice – so the customer’s production waste can also serve as a valuable part of the raw material. Automatic weight measurement and subsequent feeding to the opening and mixing system are crucial steps. In this process, an extremely uniform fiber pile is created from the homogeneous mixture on the card. This can be further optimized by mechanical needling and optionally also by thermal bonding. ALTEX has laid the foundations for future-oriented development by investing heavily in state-of-the-art production facilities. This ensures first-class processing of a wide variety of raw materials into high-quality end products.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Thanks to our state-of-the-art machinery and high level of automation, we guarantee the first-class quality of our end products. We use various finishing processes that offer our customers remarkable possibilities, such as calendering, smoothing, laminating and die-cutting. We use thermal or chemical processes for additional bonding of our nonwovens. Melt fibers ensure thermal solidification, while chemical binders penetrate the material and harden. We leave nothing to chance when it comes to guaranteeing product quality. Our comprehensive quality policy pursues clear objectives that are consistently achieved through an integrated quality management system. We not only meet the standard requirements of ISO 9001, Ökotex, ISO 50001 and CE marking requirements, but also cater to numerous individual customer requirements.

„Standing still means going backwards. We are flexible, creative and determined to always be one step ahead.“
