ABOUT US
Do you know when and where the world’s first bi-component production line for spunbonded nonwovens with hydroentanglement went into operation? It was in 2015 – and it was at our plant. More than 5,500 tonnes of high-quality nonwovens with a wide range of properties leave our plant every year.
Our focus
REGIONALLY ANCHORED, GLOBALLY NETWORKED: Our home is the beautiful Harz Mountains. We now employ more than 30 people in Halberstadt in Saxony-Anhalt. This provides secure jobs in a region to which we feel very close. However, our network of co-operation partners and customers extends far beyond Saxony-Anhalt: hydroWEB products are in use in Germany and around the world. We also drive innovation together with other companies in development partnerships.
Our claim

Our focus
EXCELLENCE IN QUALITY & PROCUREMENT: We consciously produce in Germany and will continue to offer our customers the best quality made in Germany in the future. We guarantee this with comprehensive quality assurance. Put us to the test.
Our mission
hydroWEB produces innovative nonwoven solutions for industry.
Our products are used in a wide variety of areas, for example in the construction sector or in the automotive industry.
Cutting-edge technology – well explained
With our hydroWeb BiCo technology, we specifically utilise the power of the element of water and are one of only very few companies that offer this special hydroentanglement process. ThermoWeb BiCo utilises the element of fire by giving nonwovens special properties through heat treatment.
hydroWebBiCo
Benefits
Hydroentanglement creates nonwovens with greater flexibility. They have higher elongation values and are generally more textile-like, softer and more puncture-resistant. Better adhesion makes them ideal for use with tile adhesives and plaster, for example. We would be happy to advise you personally on further advantages.
thermoWebBiCo
Benefits
Thermosetting creates a smoother surface and less air permeability. Lower grammages are possible, which enables particularly thin intermediate layers or separating layers. It is also the more cost-effective option. We would be happy to advise you personally on further advantages.
BiCo technology –
What it can do (better)
If the shell and core can be equipped with different raw materials, this creates a huge variety of new possibilities. For example, different polymers such as polypropylene and polyethylene can be flexibly combined with each other. The right combination makes nonwovens for medical products resistant to gamma radiation, for example, or enables high cost savings by reducing the weight per square metre while maintaining the same technical properties.
THE hydroWEB-PRODUCTWORLD
hydroWebBiCo
The hydroentangled spunbonded nonwoven is produced using BiCo technology on a line width of 3,300 mm. With a freely adjustable basis weight of 30 to 250 g/m² and freely selectable raw material combinations such as PP/PP, PP/PE or the use of PLA, it offers the greatest possible flexibility.
ThermoWebBiCo
The thermo-bonded spunbonded nonwoven is also produced using BiCo technology on our 3,300 mm wide line. A freely adjustable basis weight of 15 to 250 g/m² and freely selectable raw material combinations such as PP/PP, PP/PE are possible here.
hydroWEB Recyclate
With a specially initiated material cycle, our process-related offcuts become new raw material, enabling us to increase the ecological sustainability of your products. In close coordination with the technical properties of your product, we add the highest feasible proportion of recycled material.
hydroWEB Extra: Additives
All spunbonded nonwovens can be finished with a variety of additives and batches such as UV stabilisers, flame retardants, antibacterial finishes, hydrophilisation, hydrophobisation and antistatic finishes. We will be happy to advise you.
hydroWEB Extra: Colours
Let’s colour it: We are also happy to fulfil your individual colour wishes to make your desired nonwoven unmistakable. Not every colour is always possible within the scope of the respective production, but we will always find a good solution.
hydroWEB Plus: Special developments
Do you have a product that places special, perhaps even unusual, demands on the nonwoven? No problem. You tell us what the fabric needs to be able to do and we will pool our expertise to develop it exactly that way. Just get in touch with us.
