With Thailand, a major hub in the ASEAN region for nonwovens production and usage, this is a very opportune time for TNFA to have created an association of Thai nonwoven companies to come together and provide equipment, products and services for domestic consumption as well as throughout Southeast Asia and globally to service the disposable hygiene, medical, automotive, tissue paper and packaging sectors.

According to Niwat Lersnimitthum, the Chairman of TNFA, the association will seek to work with other global nonwovens associations, companies, suppliers and distributors that produce equipment, and products, covering the full supply chain for nonwovens from raw material to finished product, to distribution.

Currently, Thai companies from the nonwoven, textile and man-made fiber industries are working hard to help Thailand fight COVID-19 related issues. Face masks and personal protection equipment are in high demand during these challenging times. These companies have been working around the clock to provide all products for the past few months and will continue doing so.

Due to COVID-19 the demand is high for nonwoven and hygiene products, ranging from face masks, personal protection clothes, dry/wet wipes, medical hygiene technology and relevant manufacture equipment in Southeast Asia and the world.

ANDTEX 2020 organized by E.J. Krause & Associates in association with the Thai Nonwoven Fabrics Industry Trade Association (TNFA) in Bangkok in November 11-13, 2020 will have medical nonwovens as a key sector. The conference and expo will give stage to national and international exhibitors, trade visitors, conference attendees and world leading nonwoven organisations.

ANDTEX stands for: sharing knowledge, experience and learn about the latest developments of nonwovens technology, meet specialists and experience the tremendous potential of the Thailand and Southeast Asia market.
