Oerlikon Textile’s new corporate motto – “Innovation has a name – Oer-
likon” will be leaving its mark on ITMA 2011. The Oerlikon section will be
representing this claim atop 1,400 sq. mtrs. at the exhibition, with out-
standing technological solutions under the umbrella of five brands. Some
highlights: the new eAFK automatic texturing machine, the generation
S+ unit for BCF carpet yarns, the Allma TC2 and Volkmann CT twisting
machines, new staple fibre yarn spinning and winding solutions and new
service offers.
“We want to prove our market
and technology leadership again
– featuring energy-efficient designs
under our e-save quality label in
particular, as well as with service
innovations. And we respond to the
ITMA slogan ‘Master the art of in-
novation’ with our new corporate
motto “Innovation has a name
– Oerlikon”, Thomas Babacan,
Oerlikon Textile CEO, outlined the
trade fair presence.
He will be speaking in the run-up
