Groz-Beckert, a leading German specialist in needles and spare parts for textile machinery, is taking part in the ShanghaiTex exhibition once again, which is held every two years in China and is one of the most important international trade fairs for specialists in the textiles field.

This week, the company is presenting a new booth design for the first time in the Asian region. Over 650 m², interested visitors from all over the world have the opportunity to discover the extensive product range and numerous innovations from the company and experience them up-close with the help of AR content.

Knitting solutions highlights

Whether for circular knitting, flat knitting, legwear or warp knitting, Groz-Beckert is once again presenting numerous knitting needles and system parts at ShanghaiTex that are “up to any challenge”, according to the manufacturer. “For example, the special application needle SAN SF for processing staple fibre yarns in large diameter circular knitting machines.”

In addition to many more highlights, the company is presenting a flat knitting needle that opens up new business areas: it is said to achieve a particularly good result during multi-thread knitting of tight loops with continuous filament yarn.

Also in the field of legwear, the focus is on an innovative needle. The so-called dur needle is a further development of the Groz-Beckert sock needle for increased durability during use under high loads.
