Germany's Kern-Liebers Textile will be represented at the upcoming ITMA international trade fair for textile machinery, which takes place in Barcelona, this June, by Kern-Liebers Knitting Parts, Saxonia and Leistner. The entire range of the company’s parts and needles will be presented.

Established as a dedicated business unit in 1999, Kern- Liebers Textiles has since then grown continuously. The acquisition of Saxonia Textile Parts, the Bavarian needle plate manufacturer Paul Leistner and Sächsische Nadel- und Platinenfabriken laid the foundation for the companies' subsequent steep growth, a development complemented by the acquisition of the German needle manufacturer Haase and Kühn.

Under the umbrella brand Kern-Liebers Textiles, the company offers a complete range of needles, components for weft and warp knitting machines. The company also offers a range of products for stenter frames and combing machines. The complete Kern-Liebers range includes more than 55,000 different needles and sinkers.

Casted and plastic blocks for warp knitting

The product range from Saxonia, a leading specialist in accessories for the warp knitting industry, includes needles, guide needles, sinkers and blocks for all warp knitting applications. “Building on our extraordinarily long experience in development, the product range is being expanded continuously,” the company reports.

“Because the warp knitting market is creating more and more complex end products, the technical requirements for these products, and in particular for blocks, are constantly increasing. Meeting these increased requirements again and again presents new challenges for our developers, but it also means that we achieve the highest standards in terms of quality, the lifespan of our end products, and development expertise.”

Needles and parts for CMS machines

Flatbed knitting machine manufacturer Stoll and Kern-Liebers have been working together for decades. This partnership means that Kern-Liebers can offer the complete range of needles and parts for Stoll CMS machines, and all the needles and spare parts meet 100% of OEM specifications, the company says.

All components working in the needle bed are therefore available from a single source and are fully compatible with each other. Since 2018, this has also been the case for all holding down sinkers.  “Kern-Liebers thus offers the best solution, not only for machine manufacturer Stoll, but also for all quality-conscious end users,” the company adds.

Circular combs for cotton combing machines

Paul Leistner offers a comprehensive portfolio of circular combs for cotton combing machines. “Combs for different machine types of all leading combing machine manufacturers can be delivered,” the manufacturer says.

“Paul Leistner’s special expertise shows in the exact and repeatable configuration of the teeth and the accuracy of densities and projections. Thereby the tops can be kept extremely clean which is a prerequisite for an optimum spinning process.”
