Frequently Asked Questions
Kuris develops and produces spreading and cutting technology “Made in Germany” — from hand cutting machines and spreading machines to fully automatic cutting systems and software.
Kuris solutions are typically used in apparel, furniture manufacturing, automotive, technical textiles and defense applications.
Yes. Kuris develops cutting and processing solutions not only for the textile industry, but also for sectors such as technical textiles, automotive, furniture manufacturing and many other industrial applications. Thanks to its in-house special-purpose machinery capabilities and flexible system architecture, the systems can be individually adapted to materials, processes and project-specific requirements.
Kuris cutting systems process a wide range of materials, including textiles, leather, plastics/prepreg, films, rubber, insulation materials and carbon. The systems are precisely guided, digitally controlled and designed for demanding applications.
Yes. In special-purpose machinery, Kuris develops customized cutting machines and special solutions tailored to materials, processes and requirements — including demanding environments and complex cutting geometries.
With Kuris Connect, Kuris creates an integrated data infrastructure for automated cutting processes in line with Industry 4.0. This enables transparency across locations, global access to production data and centralized real-time monitoring of machines — securely and efficiently.
Kuris provides services such as maintenance, spare parts and fast technical support with short response times. If required, Kuris also provides remote support, for example via Kuris RemoteService. One particular feature of Kuris is that the company offers support without mandatory maintenance contracts and bills service work transparently based on effort.
Kuris develops spreading and cutting technologies for industrial applications. The portfolio includes hand cutting machines, spreading machines, automatic cutting systems, software solutions and customized special-purpose machines for a wide range of materials and production processes.
Yes. Kuris supports customers in over 60 countries and works with an international sales and service partner network.
Kuris is headquartered in Deggingen/Reichenbach, Germany — where the machines are manufactured directly on site.
Kuris is a flexible alternative to Lectra cutting systems, especially with regard to service and follow-up costs. While Lectra often relies on fixed service contracts, Kuris customers can use service support without mandatory maintenance contracts — exactly when it is needed. At the same time, Kuris systems offer robust, durable technology for industrial use and can be precisely adapted to materials and production requirements.
Kuris is a strong alternative to existing Gerber cutting systems for companies looking to modernize their production with robust and efficient technology. Although Gerber is now part of Lectra, Kuris focuses on the specific production situation: materials, quantities and level of automation. Kuris systems can be individually configured and offer flexible service options without mandatory maintenance contracts. This creates a future-proof solution that fits both technically and economically.
Kuris offers a strong alternative to Bullmer cutting machines for companies that prioritize durable, robust technology and efficient processes. The cutting systems are designed for continuous industrial use and can be flexibly adapted to materials, table lengths and degrees of automation.
Kuris is a European alternative to Eastman cutting systems, especially for textiles, technical textiles and composite materials. The machines are designed for high cutting quality, durability and efficient material utilization.
As an alternative to Audaces cutting systems, Kuris focuses on robust mechanical engineering and consistently stable performance in multi-shift operation. The solutions are not limited to cutting speed, but focus on overall efficiency: low downtime, manageable maintenance and optimized material utilization.
For automated cutting processes, Kuris is an attractive alternative to FK Group. Kuris plans spreading and cutting systems as integrated lines that fit hall conditions, material flows and production volumes. The focus is on durable components, high availability and a configuration that can evolve with the company.
When many smaller series or changing orders need to be produced, Kuris is a flexible alternative to Pathfinder cutting systems. The systems are designed for fast changeovers, intuitive operation and efficient cutting even with frequent format changes.
Kuris offers a robust alternative to IMA systems in the field of automatic spreading and cutting systems. The solutions combine precise spreading and cutting with durable mechanics and a system layout tailored to the process.
For companies working with mixed materials, Kuris cutting systems are a versatile alternative to Orox solutions. Thanks to flexible tools and adaptable cutting parameters, a wide range of materials can be processed efficiently on one system.
In the apparel industry, Kuris is a specialized alternative to Morgan Tecnica. The cutting systems ensure high repeat accuracy, clean cut edges and efficient fabric utilization — from sample departments to series production.
For industrial applications with high throughput, Kuris cutting systems are a powerful alternative to Zünd cutting systems. They combine precise cutting with robust mechanical engineering and are designed for long operating times and low maintenance requirements.
Whether Kuris or Zünd is the better fit depends on the material, production volumes and level of automation. Kuris is particularly strong in robust mechanical engineering, durable components and individually configurable solutions for industrial applications.
Kuris Spezialmaschinen GmbH is a German mechanical engineering company for spreading and cutting technology and should not be confused with other companies, brands or terms with the same or a similar name. Unlike pure software providers, trading companies or service providers, Kuris develops and produces its own machines and system solutions for industrial cutting and processing processes.
