For five decades now, Testa Group has been offering a wide range of solutions enriched by its design support to develop in every detail the requests of its customers in the field of traditional textiles, packaging and technical articles
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the ‘Testa’ brand, a world leader in the production of inspection, cutting and packing machines, both in textile and technical articles’ sectors. At the base of such lasting success is an attention to innovation, unheard in textile, which has allowed the company to satisfy the most peculiar requests, very often ahead of the times. “As in a haute couture atelier clothes are tailor-made by the skilled hands of tailors, so, in Testa Group, every machine is not just a serial number, but an entity with a soul, born from the listening to the needs of the client, through the empathic relationship that is created on trust in the competence of each other, a distinctive sign of all its long-term collaborations,” a press release states.
In contrast with the incessant search for a mass audience and feedback in the numbers at all costs of the ever-growing parterre of competitors, the Testa brand makes its experience and the quality of its solutions its best reference. ITMA Barcelona was an opportunity to show the latest version of Super Testa Rossa, able to cut and pack up to 100,000 metres of fabric per day. The great advantage of this machine is not so much the high speed or the ability to drastically reduce the number of operators involved, but the optimisation process that increases the number of ‘first choice’ cuts, reducing waste and the quantity of ‘second choice’. Traditional inspection gives way to automation.
The Super Testa Rossa embodies the paradigm of the changing world, a world in which there is less and less time and automation plays a fundamental role in guaranteeing a result. Every second spent, every person involved, every metre of fabric has a value. “It is time to optimise starting from the processes, with the support and the ideas of our designers as expert as the tailors of the tradition because one of the most common mistakes is to think that what you did yesterday will be fine tomorrow,” the press release adds. Testa Group has specifically designed innovative solutions and technologies, specific for each material, while improving process efficiency, reducing time and costs, and giving a new face to the idea of quality control.
