Innovative nonwovens for furniture –
Ziegler premieres as an exhibitor at the Interzum

Achern, March 16, 2009

Owing to the numerous new developments for the furniture industry, the nonwovens manufacturer J.H. Ziegler, Achern (Germany) will be exhibiting for the first time at Interzum, the international trade fair for suppliers to the furniture industry, which will be held in Cologne from 13 to 16 May 2009. Ziegler will take this opportunity to present the new range of products for padding and acoustics applications to a wide audience.

This trade fair participation in the current economic climate will clearly demonstrate to the European furniture industry that Ziegler will continue to be a reliable, innovative and highly diversified partner for manufacturers of upholstered furniture, mattresses, office chairs and movable walls.

In 2008, J. H. Ziegler experienced strong growth at its two locations in Germany and Hungary – largely on account of its numerous innovative products. Ziegler has made considerable investments and thus greatly expanded its range of wadding and needle-punched nonwovens, laminated nonwovens and nonwoven/foam composites for the furniture industry. Customers will profit because nonwovens and converted products are available from one source for an increasing number of applications.

Our research and development in furniture applications is focusing on the new plant that opened in 2006 in Hungary, where local manufacturing brings clear advantages. The central location of the factory between Vienna and Budapest means that the expanding markets in Central/Eastern Europe and the surrounding areas can be supplied quickly and reliably with German quality and technology.

From the technical point of view, development focused on HACOsoft® nonwovens made of renewable resources as well as novel nonwoven/foam composites. Ziegler will also be presenting new, innovative and user-friendly solutions for laminated leather that allow novel visual characteristics as well as significant practical advantages. The new range also includes antistatic and antibacterial nonwovens, thermoregulating nonwovens as well as flame-retarding barrier nonwovens. It goes without saying that the standard range includes products that comply even with unusual fire standards.
