Texprocess Americas Takes Place in Atlanta From 13 to 15 May 2014

Texprocess Americas takes place in Atlanta from 13 to 15 May 2014 and runs parallel to Techtextil North America. Texprocess is the largest North American trade show displaying pioneering innovations for the international clothing manufacturing industry and textile processing. About 3,500 attendees are expected to view the newest machines, equipment, processes and services. Groz-Beckert is exhibiting at Texprocess (hall A1-A3) at booth 3107.

The main topic at Texprocess is SEWING5. This term refers to Groz-Beckert's comprehensive service plan by which it assists the sewing industry in mastering the challenges in the market – here not only the outstanding product quality and ever more elaborate designs are requested, but also sustainable productivity and efficiency increases play a significant role. The five S of SEWING5 stand for Supply, Solutions, Service, Superiority, and Sustainability.

"Supply" means reliable delivery availability and logistics processes, which ensure delivery of the right quantity of needles at the right time and place. This is made possible thanks to Groz-Beckert's global distribution network and efficient business processes.

Groz-Beckert supports its customers throughout the entire manufacturing process with "Solutions". The aim is to solve or avoid sewing-related technical problems through advice on use as well as innovative products and solutions for every requirement:

-The innovative needle geometry LoopControl of chain stitch and lockstitch needles helps to form perfect loops. Due to their distinctive roundings LoopControl needles optimally protect the sewing thread and fabric and reduce the risk of skipped stitches. In addition, the seam appearance is improved.

-Groz-Beckert also holds available needles for fine materials or for material that is extremely difficult to sew. The special application needles SAN 10 and SAN 10 XS guarantee higher quality through best possible protection of the sewn material and contribute to the increased productivity.

-The Special Application Needle MR with its special blade and scarf geometry is particularly suitable for automated sewing processes with multidirectional feeding systems. The use of MR (or Multi Range) needles allows high productivity coupled with maximum process reliability. The results are flawless, perfect seams with maximum load-bearing capacity. MR needles are for example often chosen for sewing processes with long arm quilting machines with multidirectional feeding systems. The seams of quilt have to be reliable at the maximum, as they connect all parts holding it together.

-The automotive industry in particular demands ever higher standards as regards the appearance but also the quality of seams. Groz-Beckert has many different needle points available for the targeted seam appearance – continuous innovations and many years of experience in the automotive sector provide the assurance of perfect seam quality and maximum customer satisfaction.
