Question: In which sectors is the French ma-
chinery particularly strong?
Answer: I would like to mention the illustrious
name of Jacquard, the French inventor of the most
sophisticated weaving technology. The French
machinery manufacturers have played a particularly
important role in the historical development of the
textile industry and will continue to do so. That’s
our technical tradition.
For the long fibre spinning industry, we develop
new techniques to improve dramatically the qual-
ity standards, the operating and maintenance costs,
and online quality controls. The innovating range
includes the design of complete lines.
For the twisting and texturing of yarns, we offer
our customers the opportunity to develop high-tech
yarns for traditional and technical applications
as glass fiber or tyre cord. Heat setting processes
evolve thanks to many breakthroughs and offer
new functionalities to yarns, for the carpet industry
particularly.
