The new plant will initially meet increasing market needs for high quality spunlace, with plans for expansion in the near future. This new production asset is a state-of-the- art line with the latest carding technology for superior web formation, outstanding ability to create custom patterns with hydro embossing, and the latest advancements for water and energy conservation. The Gray Court facility will bring over 70 jobs to the US, adding to the 500 employees currently part of the Mogul Nonwovens group.
