Kansan Materials, the newest division of the Kansan Group, marked a significant milestone at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025 in Singapore by showcasing its advanced wetlaid nonwoven technologies alongside the Dilo Group, reinforcing their strategic partnership and expanding their footprint in the Asian market.
Gökhun Güngör, Sales Executive at Kansan Materials, shared insights into the company’s growing role in the global nonwovens sector and the positive reception experienced during the exhibition.
Three Divisions, One Vision for Innovation
Konsan Group operates through three specialized divisions:
- Kansan Converting – complete wet wipes converting lines, from converting machinery to liquid application systems.
- AndroPack – end-of-line automation including case packers and palletizing technologies.
- Kansan Materials – the latest division, dedicated to nonwoven machinery with a strong focus on wetlaid and wetlace processes.
“Kansan Materials was established to bring highly engineered wetlaid solutions to the nonwoven industry,” said Güngör. “With our wetlaid and wetlace expertise combined with Dilo’s global leadership in needle-punching and carding, we are delivering a powerful technological package to the market.”
A Strategic Partnership for Next-Generation Nonwovens
The partnership between Kansan Materials and the Dilo Group (Germany) integrates the strengths of two technology leaders:
- Kansan’s wetlaid & wetlace process innovations
- Dilo’s world-renowned needle punch and carding systems
Together, the companies aim to support manufacturers in advanced segments such as:
- Spunlace
- Wetlace
- Hybrid processes (CP, CPC, CCP) – Carded Pulp and related combinations
“This collaboration creates a robust advantage for customers,” Güngör added. “By combining know-how, we offer complete, high-efficiency solutions for a rapidly evolving nonwoven industry.”
Strong Engagement at ITMA ASIA + CITME Singapore 2025
For Kansan Materials, participating at the Dilo booth in Singapore marked an important step in positioning the brand within Asia — one of the world’s fastest-growing nonwovens markets.
“We were very satisfied with the visitor quality and strong interest in wetlaid solutions,” noted Güngör. “Asia is a key growth region, and ITMA ASIA + CITME has been an excellent start to expanding our marketing and business activities here.”
The company will continue its Asia engagement by exhibiting with Dilo at Techtextil India from 19–21 November as part of its ongoing regional tour.
Rising Turkish Presence in Asian Textile Exhibitions
According to exhibition organizers, 35 Turkish companies exhibited at ITMA ASIA 2025, signalling growing interest from Türkiye in Asian textile and nonwoven markets.
“For many years, our industry focused mainly on Europe and the U.S.,” said Güngör. “Taking a stronger role in Asia is essential — our national strategy is always to increase exports over imports. Seeing more Turkish companies active in these markets is a very positive sign, and we hope this number will continue rising.”
