Die textile Welt im Blick: von Tradition bis Produktivität

Groz-Beckert booth at Domotex

When it ended on January 14, the annual Domotex trade show reported a good response, indicating the positive mood in the industries represented there. The leading international trade fair for carpets and other floor coverings attracted around 45,000 visitors from more than 80 countries. Thus, the exhibition not only received a higher number of visitors (5,000 more than in 2013) but also proved its appeal beyond national borders (more than 50 percent of the visitors came from abroad). The visitors were informed about the new products and trends for the coming season. As far as the exhibitors were concerned, 1,350 companies from 57 countries were represented; their new products made it clear how much efficiency and innovation there is in the industry at present.

A robust product with many options: Carpeting in use at Domotex 2014

The majority of the visitors were once again buyers from the wholesale and retail sector – but other purchasers from the home and furniture trade, designers and architects also took advantage of the trade show to find out about the latest innovations. It was pleasing to see that trade and industry are making use of innovative concepts to refresh the image of the carpet again. The textile floor coverings should thus be given the priority they deserve.

Groz-Beckert tufting Gauge Part System

Alongside the large number of flooring manufacturers, Groz-Beckert also presented its Tufting product group in Hall 5, placing a special focus on the Tufting Gauge Part System. Manufacturers' demands for precisely coordinated tufting tools, and their interest in economic efficiency during tufting machine operation, are steadily increasing. A growing number of carpet flooring manufacturers as well as tufting machine producers are eager to benefit from this. Accordingly, great interest was shown in in the advantages of the Groz- Beckert tufting system during discussions with industry representatives and customers at the Groz-Beckert booth.

A harmonious look and a low surface weight

Groz- Beckert offers the right concept for all popular applications. One highlight of the presentation at Domotex was the new Tufting Gauge Part System for the production of automotive carpeting in fine gauges. Among other things, the system is also suitable for the production of weight-reduced carpeting which has to meet high requirements where appearance and subsequent shaping are concerned. Alongside the economic efficiency of the Tufting Gauge Part System, this is a further reason why the automotive industry, leading machine manufacturers and end users worldwide are relying on Groz-Beckert as their preferred supplier and development partner.

The tufting tools from the Groz-Beckert System produce optimal results. The matched combinations of materials and tolerances guarantee precision and process reliability, leading to high-quality and economically convincing results in the tufting process.
