FyterTech Nonwovens Marks 30 Year Milestone

The sorbent industry's largest vertically integrated manufacturer credits customers and employees as it enters its fourth decade of operations.

DE PERE, Wis., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FyterTech Nonwovens^®, LLC today marked 30 years in business, a milestone the privately held Wisconsin manufacturer reached thanks to its dedicated employees and loyal customer base. Founded in October 1996, the company has grown into a global supplier of sorbents, wipers and fluid management solutions sold in more than 60 countries across six continents.

"Thirty years ago, we had five employees, one plant in Green Bay, and a simple goal, provide innovative solutions that make the world a safer, cleaner place," said Andrew Hetzel Jr., Founder, Owner and Chairman of FyterTech Nonwovens. "Everything this company has become since then was built by our customers and our employees. Our customers trusted us early, and they've held us to a high standard ever since. Our employees have met that standard every day, in every shift, for three decades."

Today FyterTech is one of the largest vertically integrated manufacturers in the industry. The company's flagship Spilfyter^® brand, well known for absorbent pads, rolls, socks, booms, pillows, spill kits and wipers, anchors a portfolio that extends into neutralizers and classifiers, granular absorbents and secondary containment.

FyterTech's manufacturing scale and broad capabilities enable the company to serve diverse customer needs with reliable supply, responsive service and a wide range of products and application specific solutions.

Chief Executive Officer Matt Wild said the milestone is both a celebration of FyterTech's foundation and a catalyst for its future. "For 30 years, FyterTech's success has been driven by dedicated employees, trusted customers and partners, and the values Andy established from the beginning," Wild said. "As we enter our fourth decade, I am excited by the opportunity to build on that foundation, expanding our reach, strengthening our capabilities and developing innovative solutions that help make the world safer and cleaner."

"To every customer, distributor and employee who has been part of these 30 years, thank you," Hetzel said.
