100 possibilities, one partner
It's hard to believe, but every single one of these medical and hygienic articles contains seams that were created using sewing-machine needles by Groz-Beckert. We've mentioned 100 examples here. To ensure that the number will be far higher in the future, Groz-Beckert is engaged in an ongoing and intensive dialog with textile machine builders and textile producers – and we hope that includes you, too! The Technology and Development Center (TEZ) provides the perfect location.
