Groz-Beckert presented its numerous innovations to more than 7,000 customers and business partners, as well as welcoming many other visitors to its booth – including over 280 students, at ITMA, the leading international trade fair for textile machinery manufacturing, in Milan, Italy.
Groz-Beckert presented numerous innovations from its six product divisions, namely, knitting, weaving, felting, tufting, carding and sewing at the ITMA. One focus of the innovations was on the topics of efficiency, process stability and sustainability. While the topic of sustainability was reflected in the products on the one hand, a separate area in the Groz-Beckert gallery was dedicated to the topic on the other. Here, it was shown what contribution Groz-Beckert is making to making its own productions and its sites sustainable.
A special magnet of the booth was the Cooperation Corner of the knitting product area. Here, two new knitting systems and a new compound needle for circular knitting machines were presented, which were developed together with machine manufacturers. In addition, live presentations were held to highlight the successful cooperations in greater detail. The flat knitting, legwear and warp knitting product groups also had innovations in store: from special application needles and long-life dur needles to new modules and system parts.
Various new and further developments were also on show in the carding product area. For the nonwovens industry, the division presented, among other things, the world's finest interlinked card clothing for reduced crash risk. For the spinning industry, the area exhibited a new maintenance-free reel clothing with increased service life and lower maintenance costs.
