Product variety
Whether for lockstitch, closing and flat seams, for blind stitch applications or button sewing – Groz-Beckert offers the right needle for every application. Different materials can also be sewn optimally with the various point styles available.
Cutting points are required for sewing leather. Groz-Beckert offers many different cutting point styles for both closing and decorative seams, which can be used to produce different seam patterns and durable seams.
In the area of technical textiles, different special material types can be combined by sewing. Groz-Beckert has various needles in its product range that are specially adapted to these requirements and offer high process and functional reliability.
The DBxK5 needle system is available for single- and multi-head embroidery. Its geometry is optimally adapted for use in embroidery machines and features versions that are tailored to specific embroidery applications, such as sequin embroidery.
Groz-Beckert offers several needle systems for manufacturing lace on large embroidery machines. With different point styles and different eye variants, we offer the right needle for every application.
Groz-Beckert has around 150 needles and awls in its portfolio for the processing of bottom and soles of shoes. Shoe needles have a hook instead of the eye and are therefore only used in special shoe machines. The awls pierce the holes.
Special application needles
Special application needles from Groz-Beckert are used whenever the requirements on the needle exceed the standard. This is the case in particular applications such as sewing technical textiles or denim, where the needle must be particularly sturdy and wear-resistant. But also when sewing fine materials, where the needle must be as thin as possible to protect the material being sewn.
A total of 6 different special application needles are available, each adapted to a specific application.

Focus on the sewing machine needle
Point
The point extends from the beginning of the eye to the end of the needle.
Eye
The eye is the opening in the needle blade through which the thread is inserted.
Shank
The shank extends from the butt to the cone. Most needle systems have the same shank diameter for all sizes. In the sewing machine, the shank enters into the needle bar (hole or clamp) where it is usually fixed by a screw.
Cone
The cone is the transition from shank to blade. The length of the cone depends on the ratio shank diameter to blade diameter as well as on the angle or radius of the cone.
Blade
The blade is the part of the needle between the end of the cone and the beginning of the eye.
Scarf
The scarf is a recess in the needle blade, which permits the unobstructed movement of the looper/hook and a reliable catching of the loop.
Long groove (at the back of the needle)
The long groove runs from the end of the shank to the beginning of the eye. It always faces the threading direction and, in most cases, is of the same width as the eye. When the needle penetrates the material or when the loop is enlarged by the looper/hook, the long groove protects the thread from severe frictional contact with the material.
Other services
In addition to the comprehensive product range with around 2,500 different sewing and shoe machine needles as well as INH Quality Management, the Sewing product area also offers a range of other services for the sewing industry.
