Nonwoven fabrics are engineered assemblies of natural and man-made fibres bonded together mechanically, thermally, chemically or by a combination of these techniques. The nonwoven industry has a huge growth potential compared to weaving and knitting which constitute the traditional textiles manufacturing sector. Production is much faster with nonwovens because fibres are converted to finished products in a single operation without having to be spun to yarns first as in weaving and knitting
