From the beginning we felt that a more competitively priced product with the same or similar attributes of reusable linen could go a long way towards helping solve the high linen losses hospitals and EMT companies were beginning to identify. What we did not want to become was just another disposable linen product manufacturer.



Fiber-Tec Strategy

Fiber-Tec's strategy is premised on:

Costs  -  the high laundry and inventory costs currently incurred by the medical community;

Technology  -  the fact that there is no acceptable single-use linen on the market that can do what Fiber-Tec's can;

Performance  -  Fiber-Tec's products fulfill the identified needs of strength, absorbency, infection control and patient comfort; and

Savings  -  the use of Fiber-Tec single use linens in areas of known reusable linen loss generates substantial savings for its customers.


For details on the benefits of Fiber-Tec single use linens and how they compete with reusable products please review our cost calculator and detailed performance attributes.
