Aksan Kozmetik Orders High-Capacity ANDRITZ Spunlace Line to Expand Nonwovens Production

Turkish wipes manufacturer invests in in-house nonwoven roll production with new spunlace line scheduled for start-up in the first quarter of 2027.

International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Aksan Kozmetik A.S., Türkiye, to supply a complete high-capacity spunlace production line. The investment forms part of Aksan Kozmetik's plan to vertically integrate its operations by producing nonwoven parent rolls internally.

The project is intended to provide the company with reliable access to high-quality roll goods tailored to its converting operations while supporting its position in the wipes market.

The order has been included in ANDRITZ's order intake for the fourth quarter of 2026, with start-up scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.

High-Capacity Line for Wipes Production

The new neXline spunlace system is designed for high-capacity production and consistent web quality. The production line will be equipped with ANDRITZ TT cards, which are widely used in the wipes industry.

Servet Gerz, General Manager of Aksan Kozmetik A.S., said:

"The line will produce wipes in the basis weight range of 30–80 gsm, meeting local market requirements and enabling a wide variety of fiber blends."

Investment Supports In-House Production Strategy

The investment will enable Aksan Kozmetik to manufacture its own parent rolls rather than relying on external supply, supporting faster response to market demand in Türkiye.

Zafer Kutanoglu, Chairman of Aksan Kozmetik A.S., adds:

"With this investment, we are taking an important step toward producing our own parent rolls in-house. ANDRITZ’s high-capacity spunlace technology and the proven TT cards will help us ensure consistent quality and respond quickly to changing market demand in Türkiye. After commissioning this spunlace line, we will immediately order a second line."
