A.Celli and Dalian Ruiguang Nonwoven Group have signed a new investment agreement during INDEX 26 in Geneva, covering the supply of advanced winding and rewinding equipment for wetlaid nonwoven production. The order marks the 20th anniversary of the two companies’ first joint project, completed in 2006.
Over the past two decades, A.Celli and Dalian Ruiguang have collaborated on multiple projects supporting the Chinese manufacturer’s growth in the nonwovens sector. During this period, the partnership has evolved alongside developments in the global nonwoven industry, particularly in high-performance and specialty materials used across hygiene, filtration, medical, and industrial applications.
The new project will focus on wetlaid nonwoven production and includes the installation of an E-Wind Stream winder and an E-Wind Rapid rewinder from A.Celli. The equipment is designed to handle reels with a maximum width of 3,600 mm. Installation and commissioning are scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
Dalian Ruiguang Nonwoven Group is one of China’s producers in the nonwoven sector, serving domestic and international markets. The company said the new investment is expected to enhance its production capabilities while supporting future expansion in high-value nonwoven applications.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, Gu, owner of Dalian Ruiguang Nonwoven Group, said, “Throughout all these years, we have always appreciated the reliability of A.Celli’s technologies, together with the professionalism and support of their team. This long-term partnership has contributed to the growth of our business and has allowed us to successfully develop numerous projects together. We are pleased to renew our collaboration once again and we are confident that this new investment will further strengthen our production capabilities.”
For A.Celli, the agreement extends its presence in the Asian nonwovens market, while for Dalian Ruiguang it represents a further step toward expanding production capacity and meeting evolving market requirements.
