Global manufacturers of fibres and nonwovens for the filtration industry

Established for over 40 years and headquartered in Switzerland, Cha Technologies Group plc is a major manufacturer and leading global supplier of nonwoven products for industrial applications including Automotive, Construction, Filtration, Footwear, Home Furnishings, Healthcare, Hygiene and Horticulture.

From strategically located sites in the UK, USA, Australia and

China, we manufacture needlefelts stitchbond, powder-bonded

and thermally-bonded nonwoves products and are able to offer

a huge variety of standard and specified products and finishes.

We pride ourselves on being the industry leading

Solution-Providers, able to offer nonwoven products to meet

the diverse but exacting needs of any Industry.

Specifically for the Filtration industry, from conventional

technology through to emerging nano technology we

manufacture a huge variety of bespoke products including

high-loft pre-filters, media for wire-back and

self-support pleated filters, through to needlefelt filter bags.

Our consistently high product quality is maintained by state

of the art on-site Laboratories and Quality-Control facilities at

all our manufacturing sites.

In addition, we are commited to an on going programme of

investment in significant Research & Development to constantly

improve and advance our current product range and to develop

the next generation of innovative products such as the recent

introduction of on-line Nano fibre technology.

Our mission at HDK Industries is to provide customer-specific innovations in nonwoven materials.

We have many customers with unique applications and just as

many products to meet their distinct requirements and functions.

From the company’s beginnings as a small start up in 1985, to

our 2009 investment and subsequent 21% yearly growth rate, our

focus has always been on meeting the needs of our customers

with carded, thermal-bonded specialty products.

Innovation in nonwovens is a core competency at HDK

Industries. Our products are used in filters that have increased

particle removal efficiency and increased filter life across whole

market segments. From a comfort layer on the face mask that

filters dust while you do home repairs, to the filter media that

provides cleaner, healthier air at your workplace, HDK filtration

fabrics touch the world in many positive ways. We would like to

work with you to develop customized products for your synthetic

media needs in air, liquid and engine filtration applications.

During a time when other nonwovens producers struggled

to maintain business volumes and migrated to other parts of

the world to take advantage of lower manufacturing costs,

HDK Industries invested in equipment with industry-leading

production speeds and state of the art tools to guarantee

product consistency. From front end technology to ensure

blend accuracy and weight distribution across the web to back

end continuous in-line physical property monitoring, HDK can

demonstrate a commitment to quality with more than just a

catch phrase.
