In the context of the expansion in Asia, Rieter, the leading supplier of systems for short-staple fibre spinning, has officially inaugurated the first Application & Research Centre for Spinning Technology in China.

The facility will contribute towards further positive development of the Chinese spinning industry. Alongside numerous Rieter partners and customers, representatives of the Changzhou government, the China Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) and the Chinese textile industry participated in the inauguration.

“The new spinning centre offers our customers not only a unique new service, but also makes a significant contribution towards the further positive development of the Chinese textile industry,” said Norbert Klapper, Group CEO.

Inauguration event

On the first day of the two-day inauguration event, which finishes today, a textile symposium was held. Delegates discussed the challenges of the Chinese spinning industry and their solutions by means of modern automation, energy savings in production processes and high material yield.

On the second day of the inauguration ceremony, guests have the opportunity to visit not only the new technology centre, but also the modern Rieter production facilities.

Expansion in China concluded

Within the scope of the investment programme of 2012/2013, Rieter has strongly expanded its presence in Asia. In 2012 the company opened the first part of a new factory building in China. Since 2013 with the completion of the second plant, Rieter has delivered complete installations from its own production facilities in China to local customers.

Parallel to expansion of the production, the company has also extended its local customer service network. The official inauguration of Rieter Application & Research Centre for Spinning Technology marks the completion of the expansion in China.

Cutting-edge technology

Rieter has long been operating a spinning centre in Switzerland and a similar establishment in India. The new spinning centre in China is equipped with all four significant spinning processes, modern machines, a laboratory, as well as training rooms and showrooms. Consultation is provided by experienced textile technologists.

Customers and fibre producers can test their products and also obtain advice on complex technological issues. In addition, the centre offers training of internal and external specialists. Main focal points deal with the use and maintenance of modern spinning mills, the development and marketing of yarns as well as yarn and fibre measuring, yarn application and fabric development.
