FyterTech Nonwovens Celebrates 30 Years of Impact and Growth
On October 1, 2026, FyterTech Nonwovens® LLC celebrated a remarkable 30-year journey in the business. Founded in 1996, the Wisconsin-based manufacturer has successfully evolved into a global supplier of innovative fluid management solutions, reaching customers in over 60 countries across six continents. This milestone is not just a reflection of the number of years but a testament to the dedication of its employees and the loyalty of its clientele.
In the words of Andrew Hetzel Jr., the Founder, Owner, and Chairman of FyterTech, "Thirty years ago, we had five employees, one plant in Green Bay, and a simple goal: to provide innovative solutions that make the world a safer, cleaner place." This foundational vision has remained central to the company's mission, guiding its growth and development through various industry changes and challenges.
To commemorate this significant milestone, Hetzel expressed immense gratitude for the trust and support from their customers over the years. He acknowledged that the corporation’s progress and achievements were fundamentally built upon the high standards set by their early clients, which the dedicated team has consistently met and exceeded.
Currently, FyterTech stands as one of the leading vertically integrated manufacturers in the sorbent industry, recognized for its flagship Spilfyter® brand—a trusted name known for absorbent products including pads, rolls, socks, booms, pillows, spill kits, and wipers. In addition, the company extends its offerings to neutralizers, classifiers, granular absorbents, and secondary containment solutions, addressing diverse market needs with efficiency and reliability.
CEO Matt Wild shared that the anniversary represents both a celebration of FyterTech’s achievements and serves as a catalyst for future endeavors. He stated, "For 30 years, FyterTech's success has been driven by dedicated employees, trusted customers and partners, and the values Andy established from the beginning." With anticipation for the future, Wild is looking to build upon this solid foundation by expanding the company's reach, enhancing capabilities, and continuing to develop innovative solutions that contribute to safety and cleanliness.
The company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to quality and service, which has been instrumental in fostering customer loyalty and maintaining its competitive edge in the marketplace. As they enter their fourth decade, FyterTech Nonwovens remains committed to delivering exceptional products and services, striving to make a positive impact on industries ranging from environmental to industrial applications.
In reflecting on the journey, Hetzel expressed his heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has been part of FyterTech's story, saying, "To every customer, distributor, and employee who has been part of these 30 years, thank you." FyterTech Nonwovens stands today as a leading example of perseverance, innovation, and a commitment to making the world a cleaner and safer place—qualities that will undoubtedly guide the company into the future.
