NIRI to present and exhibit at INDEX™23

© 2023 NIRI
NIRI are excited to announce that we will be presenting and exhibiting at this year’s INDEX™23 – the triennial exhibition that provides a range of solutions to the ongoing challenges faced by the nonwovens industry. Visitors from around the globe will gather at Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland, from 18-21 April 2023 to discuss industry issues covering the entire nonwovens’ supply chain.

The exhibition will focus on sustainability and circularity, which are increasingly important factors in the nonwovens industry. Multiple seminars and tutorials (including NIRI’s very own Dr. Ross Ward) will be hosted to provide visitors with the latest insights on topics such as sustainable nonwovens, the use of geosynthetics in civil and environmental engineering, the role of nonwovens in healthcare, and energy efficiency in the current context. 

The greatest (nonwoven) show on earth

INDEX™ is an international event where the global nonwovens value chain converges. With over 9,000 attendees at the previous show, INDEX™23 is set to be a great opportunity to talk to experts from across the industry. The NIRI team will be on standby to discuss any queries you may have, particularly around sustainability challenges, and how nonwovens can be a key part of the solution.
