Amara Charafeddine, chairman and CEO of Madar-Holding, parent company to African nonwovens producer, Sinaatec, moderated the official start-up of a high-quality nonwoven fabric factory located in Gué de Constantine, Algeria this week. He moderated the production of the first reel to be made on the  RF5-SSMMS production line.

At the same time, Charafeddine congratulated the team of young engineers and technicians, as well as all the national support staff, as well as the foreign and Algerian partners, who have worked tirelessly and efficiently to carry out this ambitious project that meets the most stringent quality requirements, particularly in terms of hygiene, medicine and filtration.

The launch of this factory, using state-of-the-art technologies, makes Sinaatec, a major player in the Algerian nonwovens industry. The new capacity will meet high domestic demand, with additional growth potential in the North African and Sub-Saharan African markets.

Sinaatec announced in July 202 it would establish a new nonwovens operation in Algiers, Algeria, including the installation of two Reifenhäuser Reicofil nonwovens lines.. The company was established in 2017 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Madar Holding Group and this is its first investment in nonwovens lines. Reicofil has supplied the company with a 3.2 meter-wide single-beam meltblown line and an 3.2 meter-wide composite bico line, which will target the medical and hygiene sectors.
