Universal tufting solutions
Knowing the needs of tufted carpeting manufacturers is one of the keys to the success of Groz-Beckert's subsidiary Schmeing GmbH & Co. KG. But what makes the company so successful overall? The answer is permanent monitoring, consulting and training for customers, combined with intensive analysis and development of processes and procedures. A major part is played here by the Schmeing Technical Center Tufting, which uses practical findings to create product and process optimization solutions together with the Groz-Beckert Central Laboratory.
