There were many interested visitors at our booth wanting to learn who we are and what we can offer. The 3D models of the new Valmet ThruAir® Bonder and the Valmet IQ Scanner sparked curiosity and served as good tools to explain our technology in a visual and educational way.

Alongside the exhibition, there were free of charge side events. A total of 33 exhibitors held daily product presentations where Valmet was one of them. Fabrizio Bartolini presented Active Caliper Control, a tool allowing our customers to take care of their product during the winding and rewinding process.

Sustainability was the most prominent theme among exhibitors. With the need for reducing plastics and chemicals in nonwovens products the industry is eager to find alternatives and it was encouraging and inspiring to see many new innovations being presented.
