Avgol America Inc., a North American manufacturer of high-performance nonwoven fabric solutions, and YanJan USA LLC, a professional material supplier to the disposable hygiene products market, have formed a new partnership to deliver exclusive product offerings to the North American market.

Under the terms of the new partnership, Avgol will be offering apertured spunbond products made exclusively by YanJan USA using its specific know-how and capabilities. YanJan USA will obtain the base spunbond materials exclusively from Avgol. The partners will each develop and manufacture products tailored to each company’s skill set and to meet customer needs.

“This partnership enables both YanJan and Avgol to diversify our overall product ranges and to push effectively into new market opportunities,” says Jian Weng, President and General Manager of YanJan USA LLC, based in Statesville, NC.

“This is in an exciting partnership for our companies,” said Ronnie Batchler, vice president, Americas Region at Avgol. “The spunbond ‘precursor’ material will be specifically designed to meet customer specifications and deliver optimum performance. Aperturing of the spunbond will then give the nonwoven material additional unique attributes, such as improved physical performance and aesthetic appeal.

“Avgol will also be able to utilize its North American sales force to promote the new products more actively, as well as making YanJan’s complete product catalog available to the broader industry,” he adds.

YanJan said the combination of its expertise and the specialist knowledge of the Avgol team will lead to some innovative products being made available to the American market. Avgol’s U.S.-based spunbond operation is located in Mocksville, NC.
