Todd Bassett
Welcome to the spring 2020 issue of the In-Line with Fi-Tech. We have a lot of news to share with you in this issue regarding upcoming events, new principals, and product updates. Fi-Tech will have a busy start to the year as we will be participating in several upcoming trade shows and conferences. In the Filtration market, Fi-Tech will be participating in two Filtration events in the coming months: FiltXPO in Chicago, February 26-28, and The World Filtration Congress in San Diego, April 20-24. We will also be sending representatives to Geneva for the INDEX Show, March 31-April 3. This is one of the key global events for the nonwovens industry and its supply chain.
Finally, Fi-Tech will have a booth at the TechTextile Show in Atlanta, May 12-14. This is an important exhibition for the Textiles, Fibers, and Nonwovens industries in North America. We look forward to meeting you at one of these upcoming events!
Fi-Tech is always looking for new principals with unique and market leading technology to bring to our customer base in North America. In our Textile Group, we would like to introduce you to Guarneri Technology of Busto Arizio, Italy. Guarneri manufactures calenders for textile and technical textile applications with their unique deflection controlled NIPCO calender rolls. In addition, we would like to announce that effective January 1, Fi-Tech is now the representative for Saueressig of Vreden, Germany. Saueressig manufactures MPS Shells as well as 2D and 3D Embossing Sleeves for Spunlace nonwoven applications. Saueressig recently joined with our long term principal, Ungricht (Engraved Calender Rolls), to become Saueressig Ungricht Surface Solutions.
Also in this issue of In-Line with Fi-Tech we have included important updates on our Spinneret supplier, Enka Tecnica; and our Filter supplier, filtertechnik.Europe.
