Greetings!
Don1
     How many of your employees know how nonwoven fabric is used?  Most probably know only the "flavor" of nonwovens they make.  In this week's newsletter I refer to an article about the uses for nonwovens.  Next week I will include the second article in this series.

One of my favorite sites on the web is LinkedIn.  It is a professional networking site.  There are several nonwovens groups on LinkedIn and I have an article this week about them.  If you are not a member of LinkedIn, you should be.  Join and contribute to your industry.  I have included a few links to give you an understanding of what "Groups" are all about on LinkedIn.

Have a great week!

Training That Works - Uses for Nonwovens
RollsThis week and next I am linking to articles that give a very good overview for the multitude of uses for nonwovens.  This article was featured in the Indian Textile Journal in August of 2009.  The article was written by Supriya Pal.  It is very thorough.  I would suggest having every employee read this and next weeks articles.      Click here to read the article.
Nonwovens and LinkedIn
Linked In
If you are web savvy, you probably know of the professional networking site called LinkedIn.  The basic version is free and it enables you let friends and colleagues know who you are and what you have accomplished in your professional life.  Click on the graphic to go to LinkedIn.

There is however, another aspect of LinkedIn that is very useful now, but will be much more useful as people take of advantage of it.  LinkedIn allows you to create groups and invite people to join those groups that have similar interests.  There are all kinds of groups, over 650,000 of them.  Once you are a member of LinkedIn, you can go to the groups page and search on the term nonwovens. The groups below will appear as well as a few others.  Join a couple and contribute to our industry.

Definition for the Week - Spinneret
Cecatto Home
The last couple of issues we have been highlighting spunlaid processes.  I thought it was appropriate to define spinneret this week.  After the definition are a few links to manufacturers of spinnerets.
