Oz Health Plus invests in meltblown fabric machinery for mask production in Australia

Oz Health Plus purchased machinery from Oerlikon Nonwoven for producing meltblown fabric for medical masks, to be installed in a new facility in Australia. The machinery will come online in April 2021, producing enough material for 500 million masks annually, and the facility will employ 100 workers after a second stage in late 2021.

“Australia has access to raw polypropylene feedstock but lacks the plant to convert that raw material to specialised spunbond and meltblown fabrics.”aumanufacturing.com.au
