Germany-based nonwovens manufacturer Sandler AG has begun construction of its new plant at its
headquarters in Schwarzenbach/Saale. The company announced last year it would build the plant

Sandler
To Build New Plant In Schwarzenbach, Germany, Nov. 10, 2009). Since then, it has invested
40 million euros to build a 150-meter long, 70-meter wide, 20-meter high, two-story facility, along
with a 20,000-square-meter biotope and new parking areas, access roads and bridges.
The company will commission an additional spunlace line in fall 2010 to produce a new
generation of wipes as well as technical nonwovens and plans to begin commercial nonwovens
production in the first quarter of 2011. Sandler reports the investment — expected to generate
more than 60 jobs over the next two years — will make Schwarzenbach the largest manufacturing site
for wipes substrates and one of the largest nonwovens production sites worldwide.
