2010, Albstadt - Will geotextiles soon be successfully creating fertile
soil from arid desert landscapes? Will creative forms in mobility make
it possible for even more people to be transported efficiently in the
near future? Will textiles a few years from now be able to open up new
habitats for humanity on distant planets? The answers to these and many
other exciting questions relating to visionary textiles production are
all being researched at Groz-Beckert, the leading German company says.
Groz-Beckert says that machine builders
and users alike are shaping the future of textiles together with the
company at its new Technology & Development Centre (TEZ), located at
Groz-Beckert's headquarters in Albstadt.
"A total of 25,000 square metres of
floor space is available for expert training and further education as
well as far-reaching synergies and syntheses. Activities are focused not
least on the development of new products and services across the entire
textile value-added chain. This includes neutral, independent research
as well as economically viable solutions which pay off very quickly in
practice," says Groz-Beckert's head of marketing Harry Jetter.
Groz-Beckert says its medium term
strategy is to integrate textiles into ever broader and newer areas of
application, all the way to textile-concrete bridges, which set
technological standards with their impressive spans. The visions are
many and varied, the company says and in every case, with its Technology
& Development Centre (TEZ) Groz-Beckert is simultaneously
strengthening and expanding its position as the world's leading provider
of precision components, systems and services for the most diverse
textile production methods. Around 6,500 employees worldwide are looking
forward to sustained momentum in textile production and with them,
numerous customers in over 150 markets worldwide.
