Ecowipes

What Ecowipes does

Ecowipes Sp. z o.o. is a Poland-based B2B manufacturer of biodegradable wet wipes, cosmetic pads, and cotton buds, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Warsaw. The company operates fully integrated production from nonwoven substrate manufacturing through lotion formulation to finished packaged product, with five nonwoven lines distributed across two Polish plants (Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki and Nowy Modlin) and one French facility in Moosch operated through the 2017-acquired subsidiary Hydra. Its proprietary nonwoven portfolio includes the patented 3L three-layer pad technology, the Tricell cellulose-based two-sided substrate, and additional variants (Relife, LongLife, AquaFlush, Cotton Inside) targeting different absorbency, durability, and flushability profiles.

Ecowipes generates revenue almost exclusively through private label manufacturing for major European retail chains, including named customers Biedronka (Jeronimo Martins Polska) and Lidl. The company also markets two own brands, Tami (cosmetics and baby care) and Rapid Clean (household cleaning), primarily as showcases for innovation. GTM is enterprise field sales supplemented by participation in industry conferences such as GO Wipes, with English as the primary B2B communication language. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per specification, fiber selection, and volume.

The company's competitive positioning is anchored on vertical integration, sustainability credentials (96% biodegradable output for the Polish market, EU SUP Directive readiness, COSMOS/GOTS/FSC/PEFC/IFS/ISO certifications), and over 100 million PLN in cumulative EU innovation subsidies. CEO Gabriel Kermiche leads a management team including a COO, Technology and Innovation Officer (creator of Tricell), Marketing Manager, Quality Director, and Senior Product Manager. Ecowipes remains privately held with no public listing or disclosed external equity capital.

Others

• Voith Group: German machinery and paper/nonwoven technology group that co-developed the WLM 2 Carded-Pulp line with Ecowipes (announced 2025). Technology and equipment partner enabling Ecowipes' nonwoven capacity and a useful benchmark for the cost/quality frontier of competing nonwoven producers.

Direct peers

• Nice-Pak: World's largest private-label wet wipes manufacturer; competes head-to-head with Ecowipes for retailer private-label wet-wipe contracts using nonwovens it converts into finished wipes. Closest pure-play analogue to Ecowipes' B2B private-label model.
• Rockline Industries: US-based private-label wet wipes converter supplying major retailers globally with cosmetic, baby, household and flushable wipes. Same B2B private-label go-to-market and finished-wipes capability as Ecowipes.
• Suominen: Finnish nonwovens manufacturer producing spunlace and other nonwovens for wipes (baby, personal care, household, industrial). Comparable in nonwoven IP, fibre-blend innovation and customer base of wipes converters and brand owners across Europe.
• Albaad: Israel-headquartered wet wipes and nonwovens manufacturer with European production (including Poland); serves private-label and brand customers in baby, cosmetic, household and flushable wipes. Directly overlaps Ecowipes' product portfolio, customer base and European footprint.
• Jacob Holm: Swiss-headquartered nonwovens producer (spunlace, spunbond) focused on premium wipes and personal-care substrates including sustainable/bio-based fibres. Directly comparable on nonwoven material technology and wipes end-markets.

Broad incumbents

• Procter & Gamble: Owner of Pampers, Gillette and other major wet-wipe brands with global manufacturing and growing sustainability commitments on substrates. Operates in the same end-markets and increasingly in biodegradable wipe technology relevant to Ecowipes' positioning.
• Kimberly-Clark: Global FMCG incumbent (Kleenex, Huggies, Kotex) with large branded wet-wipes franchises and own nonwoven capabilities. Comparable end-product categories and retailer-shelf presence; competes for the same private-label and brand wet-wipe shelf space as Ecowipes' customers.
• Berry Global (HHS division): One of the world's largest nonwovens and plastic-based hygiene materials producers; supplies substrates and component materials to wipes brands and converters across categories including sustainable lines. Functions as a broad incumbent alternative to Ecowipes in the wet-wipes supply chain.
• Magnera (formerly Glatfelter nonwovens): Large global nonwovens platform serving hygiene, wipes and personal care end-markets with broad material portfolios including sustainable substrates. Overlaps Ecowipes on nonwoven supply into wipes, but operates at far greater scale and across multiple fibre technologies.
