Rieter Sells Complete Spunlace Line To Avangard

France-based Rieter Perfojet S.A.S. — a manufacturer of nonwovens machinery, and a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Rieter Textile Systems — has sold a new Rieter spunlace line to Russia-based Avangard, a manufacturer of fabrics for hygiene and wipes applications. The line will be an addition to the Rieter spunlace line already in operation at Avangard.

The new line includes opening and blending machines from France-based Laroche SA; France-based NSC Nonwoven’s Excelle® card and winder; Rieter’s JETlace® series; and a Rieter dryer. The line is scheduled to go online in the first half of 2009.
