China-based synthetic leather producer Huafon Microfiber (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has purchased six complete needling lines from Germany-based DiloGroup, a global manufacturer of complete nonwovens production lines. Huafon Microfiber will use the machinery to produce high-quality synthetic leather from islands-in-the-sea microfibers. DiloGroup has delivered two lines, and reports the other four will be shipped at the end of 2011 and in early 2012.

Each machinery line comprises DiloTemafa equipment for fiber preparation with bale openers, blending and fine opening machines, DiloSpinnbau carding technology, and DiloMachines needle looms.
