Additionally in 2007, Ahlstrom acquired Fiberweb's consumer wipes business which includes four plants, two of which are located in Italy, one in Spain, and one in South Carolina, and the Orlandi spunlace nonwovens business with two plants in Northern Italy.
"These investments in organic growth and acquisitions are in line with Ahlstrom's growth strategy," said Claudio Ermondi, Senior Vice President, Nonwovens. "The transactions have now positioned Ahlstrom as the leading wiping fabric producer and the third largest supplier of nonwoven materials in the world."
