Best process solutions for a great variety of applications

ANDRITZ is one of the world’s leading suppliers of technologies for the nonwoven industry and calenders for the textile industry. ANDRITZ Küsters and ANDRITZ Perfojet are two enterprises with a long and successful tradition that have now united to form the nonwoven competence center within the ANDRITZ Group.

We see ourselves as a long-term and innovative partner for the nonwoven industry. Our technologies comply optimally with the individual requirements of our customers' products and allow a fast and profitable return on investment. Our key competences lie in wetlaid, spunlace, spunbond, and spunjet technologies.
ANDRITZ Küsters, based in Krefeld (Germany), comprises the nonwoven and paper business areas of the former Eduard Küsters Maschinenfabrik, as well as the coating division of the Swiss company Bachofen + Meier. As a medium-sized enterprise within the globally operating ANDRITZ Group, we are flexible and versatile in our daily business and backed up by a strong partner.

The focus of all activities is on developing customized concepts, systems, and machines to suit every need of the paper, board, tissue, nonwovens, and textile industries. This is why we invest in innovation, not only conducting R & D at our own facilities, but also in close cooperation with leading institutes and universities. Innovative technology concepts need to be put into practice consistently and with care. Highly qualified employees in our ISO 9001 certified production facilities guarantee efficient customer service and excellent project execution.
