OZ Health Plus

Australia-based OZ Health Plus has chosen spunbond and meltblown equipment from Oerlikon Nonwoven for its new production plant in Australia, the first such facility in the country. The plant will have capacity to produce meltblown fabrics for 500 million masks per year.

Oerlikon Nonwoven has sold a meltblown technology plant to OZ Health Plus, which will establish Australia's first manufacturing plant for nonwoven fabrics used in face masks. The plant will commence operations in April 2021.

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.
