INDA® Announces New CAB™     2012 Conference

CARY, N.C. – November 23, 2011 – Recognizing a need for an inclusive conference to service the needs of multiple production and bonding technologies and the converter segment, INDA, the leading Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, will hold their new CAB™ 2012 Converting and Bonding Conference from April 17-19, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville, S.C.

CAB™ 2012 is an expansion and replacement of INDA’s highly successful Needlepunch® Conference. The new conference will encompass the full range of nonwoven bonding technologies, including needlepunch, chemical, spray, foam, powder, stitch, thermal, through-air and ultrasonic, plus the latest in converting technologies and applications.
