GALAB Laboratories GmbH at the OUTLOOK 2023 Conference

Insights into the World of Nonwovens and Femcare Products

We participated in the OUTLOOK 2023 Conference in Algarve, Portugal. The conference, the world’s leading event for nonwovens in the hygiene, personal care, and wet wipes sectors, provided a platform for industry experts to exchange ideas and discuss the future of the nonwoven product industry. 

We are a proud member of EDANA

Representatives from GALAB, including Eckard Jantzen, Hans Wunsch, and Carsten Saal, actively participated in the conference organized by EDANA. EDANA is the global voice of the nonwovens industry, bringing together companies from various parts of the world. 

We are a proud member of EDANA for over 15 years, allowing us to participate in discussions on the forefront of the future of nonwoven product analysis. The conference provided an ideal opportunity for networking, lectures, and presentations highlighting the latest developments in the industry. 

According to Jantzen, the organization of the conference by EDANA was perfect. Great efforts were made to ensure smooth communication among participants. 

“In fact, you didn’t even have to leave the hotel where the conference was held, because it was pouring with rain during the days, so everyone stayed in the conference hall. But this way you got to know a lot of people from the nonwovens industry and had an intensive exchange of ideas with them,” says Eckard Jantzen.

New Markets and Trends

A variety of topics were addressed, including socio-economic developments in the nonwovens sector. New markets are emerging, for example, in Africa, India, and China, each with its own cultural trends and changes in terms of hygiene and femcare products. 

The development of femcare products was particularly highlighted during the conference, focusing on women’s rights contexts in different parts of the world and international quality standards for products. GALAB is actively involved in various ISO standard groups dealing with menstrual products and femcare.

Mr. Jantzen emphasizes GALAB’s role as an analyst that confirms the quality of products through certifications, thereby strengthening customer trust. GALAB has been able to position itself as a leading company in analytics in the nonwovens industry for many years and gained recognition from many OUTLOOK participants.
