Advances in Technical Nonwovens

Dr Kellie has worked in industry with major nonwovens and paper manufacturing companies and started Kellie Solutions more than 10 years ago. Since then he has consulted for some of the largest and most successful nonwovens companies in the world as well as presenting at a number of conferences for EDANA, the international association for the nonwovens and related industries. Recent work has included a submission on nanotechnology to the UK House of Lords Science & Technology Committee, and international presentations on nonwovens in advanced automotive applications and composite plastics.
