Mitsui Chemicals will add 6000 tons of spunbond capacity at its Sunrex facility in Yokkaichi, Japan in an effort to support growth in the baby diaper market in Japan and throughout Asia.

The new line will feature proprietary technology to enhance the standard spunbond process. This results in a nonwoven that offers excellent flexibility and expandability accompanied by superior comfort. These attributes will help Mistui expand its role in premium diaper markets.

According to executives, Mitsui’s mid-term plan is to position its healthcare business as a targeted business domain and the nonwovens business is a part of that segment. Expansion into Asian diaper markets is considered a significant part of this plan.

The expansion is expected to be complete in late 2017.
