Dow Jones Description

Polymer Group, Inc. is a leading global innovator, manufacturer and marketer of engineered materials, focused primarily on the production of nonwovens. Nonwovens are high value-added, high performance and low-cost alternative materials developed as an outgrowth of paper, textile and chemical technologies, with critical characteristics including absorbency, tensile strength, softness and barrier properties. Our products, which typically comprise only a small percentage of the final product's total cost, are the critical substrates and components for disposable consumer applications such as baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, household and personal wipes, disposable medical applications, such as surgical gowns and drapes, and for various durable industrial applications including furniture and bedding, filtration and protective apparel. We have one of the largest global platforms in our industry, with seventeen manufacturing and converting facilities throughout the world, and a presence in eight countries. We are strategically located near many of our key customers in order to increase our effectiveness in addressing local and regional demand as many of our products do not ship economically over long distances. ...
