Groz-Beckert and "The Floating Piers" by Christo

At the Lake D’Iseo in Italy, from June 13 to July 3, 2016, visitors can take a walk on a walk-along pier three kilometers in length, consisting, among other elements, of 70,000 square meters of a technical needle punched nonwoven. The artist Christo chose the nonwovens manufacturer Altex, based in Grona. Groz-Beckert supported Altex here.
