The neXline spunlace line has demonstrated strong performance since its commissioning at the end of 2024, operating with high stability and efficiency.

Through customized services and comprehensive technical support, we aim to contribute to the continued advancement of the nonwovens sector.”

Founded in January 2021, Hubei Gesalife Industry Co., Ltd. manufactures hygiene products, disposable medical supplies, and protective equipment. With an annual output of 12,000 tons of high-end medical nonwovens, 12,000 tons of breathable composite films, 6,000 tons of spunlace nonwovens, and 21 million packs of wet and dry wipes, the company has established a strong presence in the nonwovens industry through its focus on quality and innovation.
