IDEA13 CORNER
For Spooling Sensitive Nonwovens
France conjures up images of Paris, the Louvre, wine, cheese and artists showing their art up and down the sidewalks along the Seine. How about spooling? And nonwovens? Two companies want you to think spooling and nonwovens when you think of France – Spoolex and Calemard. In fact, they would probably enjoy talking to you at their booth # 1145 during IDEA13. Especially, if you’re in the hygiene business.
