The Global Nonwovens Alliance (GNA), founded by the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA) and EDANA, announced the launch of a new global e-learning initiative designed to help companies build essential nonwovens knowledge.

The first program available through this initiative is the Fundamental Nonwovens series of e-courses, which offers flexible, accessible learning from anywhere and supports professional development at scale. Developed with the combined expertise of EDANA and INDA, the program provides a common foundation for professionals entering the industry, transitioning into new roles, or supporting nonwovens businesses from commercial, operational, regulatory, technical or corporate functions.

“E-learning is one of the clearest examples of how the Global Nonwovens Alliance can deliver value to the industry,” says Murat Dogru, CEO of Global Nonwovens Alliance. “By bringing together the knowledge and reach of INDA and EDANA, we are creating a consistent learning experience that helps professionals around the world build a stronger understanding of nonwovens and contribute more confidently from day one.”

“INDA and EDANA each bring decades of trusted industry knowledge, educational experience, and member engagement,” says Hadrien Tournier, global director of professional development at Global Nonwovens Alliance. “Together, through GNA, we are making high-quality learning more accessible to companies and professionals across the global value chain.”

The Fundamental Nonwovens courses are available now through both EDANA and INDA’s websites.
