Glatfelter, headquartered in York, Philadelphia, is to invest approximately $80 million to build a new production facility in the USA for its Advanced Airlaid Materials business. The company is currently evaluating location options, primarily in the southern United States.
“Our Advanced Airlaid Materials business is a global growth platform that has a unique opportunity to capitalize on increasing and unmet demand in North America for the materials used in lighter-weight hygiene and disposable wipes products,” said Dante C. Parrini, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our plan to build this new facility is in direct response to customer needs for increased capacity in a tightening North American airlaid market.”
