It was a lively week of continuous learning, as The Nonwovens Institute (NWI) and INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, hosted more than 25 industry professionals Oct. 15-18 for the Intermediate Nonwovens Short Course. Attendees spanned the breadth of the nonwovens value chain from raw material suppliers to manufacturers of roll goods to converters to testing service providers to brand owners. The course provided a balance of classroom sessions at INDA and NWI, along with hands-on activities and the opportunity to experience NWI’s state-of-the-art pilot lines and analytical testing capabilities on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University. Featured topics included: * Fundamentals of Fibers and Materials * Web Formation Technologies * Fabric Bonding Technologies * Fabric Finishing and Converting * Testing and Characterization * Nonwoven Products and Markets * Future Direction of the Industry and Technologies "I enjoyed learning about the different manufacturing techniques, but I really enjoyed how it was tied to the larger market conditions. It is important to understand the next wave of market trends and sustainability initiatives," noted one of the training attendees. The course was led by a series of nonwovens subject matter experts, including Ed Thomas, formerly head of research and product development at First Quality Nonwovens (now PFNonwovens) and Fiberweb; Behnam Pourdeyhimi, Ph.D., executive director of NWI; Amy Minton, analytical and filtration testing lab manager at NWI; and Matt O'Sickey, Ph.D., director of education and technical affairs at INDA. Tour groups were led by Benoit Maze, Ph.D., director of education and administration at NWI, Angelo Corino, manager of NWI’s Spunbond and Hydroentangling and Meltblown labs, and Andreas Batz, NWI’s pack preparation lead. While this was the last INDA/NWI short course of 2024, the 2025 training schedule is now available at https://bit.ly/3YBXWkV. Reserve your seats for upcoming courses to gain the benefit of nonwovens knowledge that cannot be found elsewhere. If your company views continuous learning/workforce development as a strategic investment, please consider the NWI/INDA Short Course Value Pack program. Bundles of 5, 10, 15 and 20 short course registrations are available at progressively discounted rates.
