Because, there is a saturated market for spunbond, meltblow and spunlace standard products. Anyone develops different things from each other. Therefore although there exist little differences on products, the most determinant for customer is price at many sector. We need to be realist, who gives cheaper, they prefer it. You made investment, you founded team, you give a worldwide service and these are appreciated but price becomes the first choice reason at home market. Our biggest specialty is to diversify product range and keep our quality on a certain level. We have special products which developed by us. There are others who make the similar but it doesn’t have the same quality”.
