ALPHARETTA, GA, February 11, 2020 - SWM International (NYSE: SWM)
stands ready to supply converters and manufacturers of face masks
with advanced nonwoven materials necessary to meet the global
challenge presented by the coronavirus outbreak.
“SWM has a long history of supplying high-quality media integral
to the construction and performance of face masks used in the
dental and surgical sectors as well as the industrial sector,” said
Bart Sistrunk, SWM’s Commercial Director – Filtration. “Our

comfortable wear.”

apertured film, a lightweight nonwoven that is extruded, oriented,
and uniquely embossed for use as a flexible surface layer for
medical facemasks or as a comfort barrier in finger bandages.

media and Delnet apertured film for customers who need materials
for face mask production,” said Sistrunk. “We are committed to
continued support during the current world health emergency.”
