Ahlstrom in the value chain

High performance fiber-based materials include nonwovens and specialty papers. They are used in a broad range of industrial and consumer sectors, including transportation, food and beverage, health care, building, packaging, and home and office sectors. Our materials provide specific functions required in everyday products, such as filters, wipes, medical applications, hygiene products, flooring, tapes and labeling and packaging, and can offer enhanced performance and cost benefits to customers. They are sold predominantly in roll good form to manufacturers, often referred to in the industry as converters, who process the materials further and convert them into end products.
