DECEMBER 2011
in the some segments of the textile
industry, how has Brueckner per-
formed during 2011?
A: The year 2011 was indeed not
that easy for the textile industry. As
we have invested a lot in the techni-
cal textile and nonwovens sector, we
could compensate the loss in the tex-
tile orders. Development of energy
saving systems and efficient work-
ing machines offered the possibility
to satisfy the customer needs and to
place some important machines on
the textile market.
Q: Are you planning any ma-
jor investments in manufacturing
or capacity expansion during the
current year?
A: Brückner is committed to con-
tinuous research and development,
investing annually a major amount
into the developement of new prod-
ucts and the technical development
of existing products. To stay com-
petitive with a ‘Made in Germany’
company policy, we are constantly
investing into the latest manufactur-
ing technology to ensure best qual-
ity for our customers and their prod-
ucts.
