We’re exhibiting at INDEX™ 2026, the world’s largest nonwovens exhibition, at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland, May 19–22. You’ll find us at Booth 2150, alongside our partner brand YESHE.
If you’ve been following us for a while, you know we don’t do trade shows just to hand out brochures. We come to show real products, have real conversations, and solve real cleaning problems. This year’s booth is no different — except we’re bringing more of the team than usual, and a product lineup that covers pretty much every wiping scenario you can throw at us.
Why INDEX™ Matters
INDEX™ is the gathering for nonwovens and engineered fabrics professionals worldwide. Manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, procurement teams — the people who actually decide what goes on a production line show up in Geneva every three years. For us, it’s a chance to do something we can’t do over email: put a wipe in your hand and let you feel the difference between a wood pulp/polypropylene blend and a rayon/polyester spunlace. We can write about it on our wiping cloth selection guide all day. But until you’ve wiped a surface yourself, the specs are just numbers.
Who You’ll Meet at Booth 2150
We’re not sending people who memorize spec sheets. The folks at our booth walk factory floors, troubleshoot contamination issues on-site, and have personally helped hundreds of facilities figure out why their current wipe isn’t working. Six of us will be in Geneva this year:
Ethan — Sales Director
Twenty years in the industrial wiping cloth and cleanroom consumables business. Ethan leads our global sales team and has built long-term partnerships with clients across dozens of countries. He’s seen pretty much every cleaning scenario you can imagine — and a few you probably can’t. If you’ve got a complex contamination control challenge or want to talk strategic supply partnership, he’s the person to find.
Vicky — Foreign Trade Sales Supervisor
Vicky runs our foreign trade sales operations day to day. She coordinates client communication, manages sales documentation, and keeps our overseas business running smoothly. If you’ve placed an international order with us before, there’s a good chance Vicky was the one making sure everything landed on time. At the show, she’s the person to talk to about order processes, lead times, and logistics for overseas shipments.
Lee — Key Account Sales Manager
Lee joined us in 2018 and has been handling overseas business since. Seven years in the cleanroom consumables industry, working with companies like Foxconn, Samsung, and Apple on their cleanroom supply needs. His philosophy is simple: “Do more, know more, be more.” If you’re running a large-scale production facility and need someone who understands supply chain pressure, Lee gets it.
Carolina — Product Specialist
Carolina knows our products at the material science level. She works directly with frontline production workers and technicians to understand how wipes actually perform in real conditions — not just in a lab. She collaborates with suppliers to improve raw materials and processes, controlling quality from the source. Want to understand the technical difference between a wood pulp/PP blend and a rayon/polyester spunlace? Need help matching a wipe to a specific cleaning chemistry? Carolina is your person.
Daisy — Sales Support
Daisy handles the behind-the-scenes work that keeps orders moving — order follow-up, customer communication, daily operations. She’s the one who makes sure that after you place an order at the show, the process back home runs without a hitch. Her motto: “This is a good day to have a good day.” Come say hi. She means it.
Zac — Customer Service
Zac is our customer service lead. Responding to inquiries quickly, handling orders smoothly, providing reliable after-sales support — that’s his daily work. He’s patient, responsible, and actually follows up. If you have questions about product specs, pricing, or after-sales issues, Zac will make sure you leave with answers, not a business card and a vague promise.
What We’re Bringing to the Show
Our team has been preparing for months. Here’s what you can see and test at Booth 2150:
Universal Wiping Cloths
Most factories go through thousands of universal cloths every month. The trouble is, a lot of facilities are using the wrong type for their actual tasks. I’ve watched the same mistake play out more times than I can count: someone orders a general-purpose cloth, workers discover it doesn’t absorb coolant fast enough, so they use three sheets instead of one. Consumption doubles. Procurement panics, switches to something cheaper. That product sheds fibers. Quality control starts finding contamination. Six months later, the facility is spending more than before the “cost optimization.”
We’ll have our full universal wiping cloth range at the booth:
- W2101 (X5) — General wipe-downs. Wood pulp/polypropylene blend, 25 × 35 cm flat-sheet, quarter-folded for one-at-a-time dispensing. Bench surfaces, tool exteriors, equipment housings — start here if your team does basic cleaning between shifts.
- W2201 / W2203 (X6 series) — Oil, coolant, and solvent cleanup. Larger 31 × 34.5 cm format with a stone-pattern spunlace structure that grabs liquid instead of pushing it around. Roll format, 900 sheets per roll per box — less time restocking dispensers on the production floor. If you’re running CNC machines, come test these yourself.
- W2301 (X7) — The compact option. 9-inch format for tight spaces and smaller surfaces where a full-size cloth is overkill.
Surface Preparation Wipes
This is where generic cloths fall on their face. Surface prep before coating, bonding, or painting is a completely different animal than wiping down a workbench. Residual oil, fingerprints, or particles on a surface heading into a paint booth means defects. Defects cost real money.
- W3501 Heavy Duty Surface Preparation Wipes — Cellulose/polyester blend with high-friction treatment that mechanically lifts contaminants off the surface. Built for automotive paint prep, surface coating, and high-friction cleaning. We wrote a full automotive paint preparation guide around this product if you want the technical deep dive.
- W3401 Ultrasoft Surface Preparation Wipes — Rayon/polyester spunlace for delicate surfaces. Optical components, display surfaces, precision instruments — anywhere you need serious cleaning without scratching or leaving residue.
- W3301 Mesh Adhesive Removal Wipes — Niche, but if you deal with label glue, tape residue, or sealant squeeze-out, nothing else comes close. The open mesh geometry gets under the adhesive and lifts it off instead of smearing it around.
Cleanroom Wipes, Swabs, and PPE
Our full product range goes well beyond wiping cloths. We’ll have cleanroom wipes, swabs, surface preparation products, and PPE supplies on display — all produced under strict quality control with ISO-certified materials. We support OEM and ODM customization for brands worldwide, and we’ll have samples of custom work at the booth for anyone interested in private-label options.
Things We Wish More Procurement Teams Knew
We’ve spent years helping facilities figure out their wiping needs. A few things that come up over and over:
“Universal” doesn’t mean one-size-fits-all. Our X5, X6, and X7 series handle about 80% of industrial tasks. The remaining 20% — surface prep, adhesive removal, cleanroom work — is where specialty products earn their keep. Most facilities need 2 to 3 wipe types, not one. Standardizing on a single SKU usually costs more, not less.
Cost per box is a trap. Normalize to cost per square meter and cost per completed task. A cheaper box with fewer, smaller sheets can cost more per square meter of coverage. A wipe that needs three passes isn’t cheaper — it’s three times the labor plus three times the waste.
Material-chemistry mismatch kills wipes. Wood pulp/polypropylene behaves differently from rayon/polyester when exposed to solvents. If your cleaning protocol uses aggressive solvents like acetone, a wood pulp blend might fall apart. We covered this in our wiping cloth selection guide — worth reading if you’re evaluating your current setup.
Dispensing format affects waste. Flat stacks for QC stations. Rolls for production lines. Pouches for maintenance carts. We’ve watched facilities cut waste by 15–20% just by switching dispensing formats. Mixing formats in one facility is normal, and usually the right call.
