About us

ORSA NW is the Gruppo ORSA company that focuses on the production and refining of Non-Woven fabric. The company has been using traditional needle punching technology since the 70s and, starting in 1989, introduced the technology known as hydro needling, first to do so in Italy and third in the world. Over time the company has developed a wide range of high technical and quality products and asserts itself in relevant market contexts thanks to the gradual diversification of its business model. Always aware of new trends and the ever changing needs of its customers, ORSA NW is constantly committed to perfect its own materials and to realize innovative collections of high-tech products.

Technologies

Needlepunch

Non-woven fabric manufactured using traditional needle punching technology, in which the fibres are entwined by thousands of metal needles that, according to the penetration and number of stabs, grant a certain degree of firmness and softness.

Hydroentanglement

Non-woven fabric manufactured using hydro needling technology which uses high pressure micro jets of water in order to bind together the fibres and obtain a very thin veil able to keep the same softness and drapery, as well as a notable mechanical resistance.

Finishing

The non-woven fabric obtained can be further processed using finishing procedures such as:

Self-extinguishing, water-repellent and oleophobic treatments using traditional products and Fluorine Free

Thermal treatments in calender and oven

Coating Hot Melt with thermoplastic and thermosetting powders

Colouring and dyes

Cylinder printing of logos and specific motifs

Customisable cuts and packaging
