This new capability now enables Xerium to more effectively service nonwoven producers from North America, Europe and South America and will improve responsiveness with the very high quality and state-of-the-art technology. Xerium develops and produces specially engineered, belts, roll covers, and spreader rolls for nonwoven fabrics manufacturing. Our portfolio provides an exceptional range of products for every line configuration in every global market.
Its global manufacturing footprint and teams of Applications Engineers ensure optimum performance. Xerium's ongoing commitments to continuous improvement and innovative new products are focused on helping its customers further reduce operating costs, improve product quality and get greater value from their assets.
Xerium has also successfully introduced a wide variety of uniquely designed products specifically for nonwoven applications. Recently its SMART Roll product has gained significant interest for helping customers better understand and control nip pressures in converting and embossing applications. Xerium's R&D teams are closely aligned with leading OEMs and machine suppliers to enhance its product development initiatives while speeding new product deployment to our customers.
This announcement follows similar moves in Chile. Together these investments will improve Xerium's position in the Latin American nonwovens industry.
