German renowned nonwoven manufacturer Sandler AG recently announced that it has acquired a 24.9% stake in Phoenix Non Woven, a company based in Lenningen, Baden - Württemberg, Germany. This move further strengthens its layout in the field of high - performance nonwoven materials. 

Phoenix Non Woven is an innovative enterprise specializing in the production of wet - laid nonwovens. Its predecessor is the long - standing Scheufelen Paper Mill in Germany. As a result of the technical extension and transformation of this paper mill, Phoenix has developed a set of high - precision and high - performance wet - laid nonwoven manufacturing capabilities based on its profound foundation in paper processing technology. 

Wet - laid technology has unique advantages in the nonwoven industry. It can achieve fine and uniform distribution of fibers, and is suitable for filter materials, high - end industrial applications and sustainable packaging solutions. Sandler's investment this time is precisely due to its recognition of Phoenix's leading position and growth potential in this technical field. 

Sandler stated that this acquisition will not only contribute to the collaborative development of both parties in technological innovation and market expansion, but also provide strong technical support for future product development in fields such as medical care, filtration, and sustainable packaging. Both parties will continue to operate independently, but will strengthen cooperation in research and development, raw material procurement, and market promotion. 

As a leading nonwoven manufacturer in Europe, Sandler has been actively expanding its technical boundaries and has accumulated profound experience in various nonwoven technology fields such as spunbond, air - through, carded and hot - rolled. This entry into the wet - laid technology field has further improved its diversified technology map. 

With the continuous rise in market demand for high - performance and environmentally friendly materials, the cooperation between Sandler and Phoenix will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the nonwoven industry in Europe and even the world, and also demonstrates Sandler's strategic vision in material innovation and sustainable development.
