The Felting (Nonwovens) product area present-
ed no less than two world firsts at the fair: a
needle with a new notch design and the OUR DNA
Groz-Beckert felting needle module for the
innovative MicroPunch intensive needling swisstextilemachinery.ch
technology (Dilo). Both products met with very
great visitor interest.

The Tufting product area presented its proven
Gauge Part System for the production of tufted
floor coverings. At the booth, customers were
able to see for themselves that the components
in the Gauge Part System from Groz-Beckert are
perfectly coordinated and guarantee smooth
interaction.

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
Groz-Beckert Stand at ITMA 2023 spinning industry, the area exhibited a new
maintenance-free reel clothing with increased
service life and lower maintenance costs.

The Sewing product area also enjoyed a high
number of specific visitors – even though ITMA
does not focus on the sewing industry. Interest
in the division's various special application
needles (SANTM) was correspondingly high.
Likewise, the patented quality management
system INH (Ideal Needle Handling) received a
lot of attention.

The appearance of the Technology and Devel-
opment Center (TEZ) completed the Groz-Beck-
ert booth. The TEZ experts presented to interest-
ed visitors the numerous opportunities available
to customers and partners at the TEZ. In
cooperation with external partners, the TEZ can
be used as an optimization, development or
business partner – depending on requirements
and customer wishes.
