Norafin, a specialist in the production of high-quality material constructions, technical non-wovens and composites, can look back on a long-
standing company history. Beginning with the development of Europe’s first water jet line in 1980, Norafin collaborated with the Saxon Research Institute for the Textile Industry. Today, Norafin is one of the world leaders in the production of high quality technical textiles for air and liquid filtration, protective clothing, medical, construction, aerospace and automotive industries. It produces in Germany and the USA.

Implemented solution
Norafin chose the system for production planning and control, part of the sedApta offering. The solution is based on a standard package, which can be individually adapted to the specific processes and requirements of the customer. All manufacturing processes, including ordering, goods receipt process, warehouse management, inventory management and valuation, can be mapped end-to-end in this system.
“By using this solution, we were able to significantly improve and optimize our manufacturing process. Today, we have transparency over inventory, production and order progress at all times and can optimally control our production processes at both production locations.”
says André Lang, Managing Director at Norafin.
