The latest investment made by the Turkish company for a line dedicated to technical textile will use A.Celli Nonwovens E-WIND® machinery for roll winding and rewinding.
As part of its ambitious € 40 million investment plan, General Nonwovens has once again chosen A.Celli Nonwovens as its strategic partner for the supply of high-performance machinery for a new line dedicated to technical textiles.
The collaboration underscores a decades-long relationship that began in 2003 and has flourished through a combination of innovative engineering and consistent after-sales support. The new production line will serve diversified markets such as automotive, filtration, and home care, expanding the company’s reach beyond its core hygiene segment.
A.Celli’s scope of supply includes E-WIND® winder, slitter rewinder and fully automatic systems for core and shaft handling. Last but not least, the addition of the proprietary SLITTOMATIC® system will ensure enhanced accuracy and flexibility in slitting operations.
“We value A.Celli not just as a supplier, but as a long-term partner who has played a vital role in our development,” stated Mr. Alican Yilankirkan, board member of General Nonwovens. “Over the years, they have shown an outstanding ability to align their technological solutions with our evolving needs, enabling us to stay ahead in a competitive market. Their responsiveness, attention to detail and dedication to long-term support go well beyond industry standards. Our last investment involving A.Celli was the Reicofil 5 line - an initiative that reaffirmed our confidence in their capabilities. While the Reicofil line is primarily dedicated to hygiene applications, our most recent investment shifts focus toward the technical side of the business. Based on our prior experience, we know that A.Celli’s expertise extends beyond hygiene; they bring significant value to technical textiles as well - especially in areas where precision, such as advanced tension control, accuracy and digital integration, is critical. Their solutions are also designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. That’s precisely why we selected them again for this new project. As we enter a new phase of growth, we are proud to strengthen a collaboration built on shared vision and mutual respect.”
