Drylock Technologies has added a second production site in Hradek nad Nisou, Czech Republic. With seventeen production lines, Drylock is now the largest baby diaper manufacturer in Europe, capable of making six million diapers per day, which mainly go to retailers in Western and Northern Europe as well as, to a smaller degree, Africa and South America.
According to CEO Bart Van Malderen, the new investment has enabled the Belgium-based company to increase its workforce and annual sales by more than half. The capacity from the new site is already sold out and the company plans to add automated warehousing to the site next year.
In addition to baby diapers, the plants produce incontinence materials which are supplied to both retailers and healthcare providers.
Drylock officially opend the new plant in early May at an event that included a ribbon cutting and plant tour. The expansion is part of an ambitious European investment, announced by DryLock in april 2018, which also included construction of a new site in Segovia, Spain. The €200 million investment was reportedly largely prompted by the success of its Magic Tubes channel technology. The Segovia site opened earlier this year.
