project for combing machine
manufacturing
itma asia + CITME 2012
Toyota Industries Corporation
(TICO) of Japan and Truetzschler
GmbH & Co. KG of Germany have
agreed to co-operate on develop-
ing, manufacturing and marketing
combing machines.
TICO, which is an origin com-
pany of Toyota as the world famous
car manufacturer, has been build-
ing textile machinery since 1926,
and has a decade of experience in
the combing sector. Truetzschler
is a specialist for draw frames in
the short-staple range, and has
been building spinning preparation
machines since 1888. The extensive
know-how of both companies is
now flowing into the development
of a new generation of combers.
The prototype of a new comber
generation, the Toyota-Truetzschler
TCO 12, was introduced at ITMA
Asia 2012 in Shanghai.
