Sustainability
Sustainable with a system
We take a holistic approach to cutting technology. For us, this also includes topics such as environmental protection and the sensible use of resources.
A few examples: Our own PV system supplies us with a large proportion of the electricity we need. We prefer to work with regional suppliers and partners in order to keep transportation routes short. Our machines are also designed to conserve resources: Intelligent cutting processes and optimized trimming technologies help to reduce material waste and make efficient use of raw materials.
All in all, together with our customers, we are making a contribution
to more sustainable textile production.

Experience meets modern production
We build locally in Germany what is later used worldwide. Thanks to lean processes, high quality standards and genuine craftsmanship, we produce cutting machines for textiles that deliver what they promise. Whether manual cutting machines, laying machines or fully automatic cutting machines: no system leaves our factory that we have not tested ourselves.
And because we know that every production process is different, we think in terms of solutions rather than standards. This results in robust and clever machine solutions that you can rely on. For decades.
