Companies in the personal care industry are constantly developing, refining or re-inventing products to satisfy an increasingly sophisticated consumer. With high volumes of baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, and wipes, and growth markets in adult incontinence products, training pants, and pool diapers, the need for high quality converting systems is growing in step with a wide range of high performance materials.

Key challenges faced by the industry now include:

• Delivering thick, lofty or multi-layered materials in packages that provide enough run time to make an operation economically feasible.
  
  
• Delivering highly-engineered, delicate or low tensile materials in a package that maintains the desired quality and performance properties.
  

Since 1987, KT has been helping the personal care, medical and filtration industries face these challenges by providing slitting and spooling services on a contract basis to both suppliers and users of nonwovens, films and elastomerics. Now, our ability to combine multiple materials using a variety of bonding and laminating processes enables us to provide pre-assembled products to our customers.
